Sorry - meant to say before that if you want to pay for it by PayPal, the 
PayPal email ID is this one (alan.wesson at atlas.co.uk).

I have already had several requests for copies, and I will mail them 
tomorrow morning. However, the people all had to ask me how to pay, because 
I had forgotten to put that in!

Anyway, I will be going to bed in about an hour, so if you see this after 
then it's too late to ask me for details of how to pay, but if you'd like a 
copy sent tomorrow morning, just send the PayPal payment for $8.50, or if 
you'd prefer to send a Money Order, then send it addressed AND made out to:

Jenks Crayton (NOT me!), 3403 Madison Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27403

It's important to make it out to Jenks and not to me, because he looks after 
my vair and I owe him lots of money, so it's is a great way to pay him!

Cheers, and sorry I forgot to put this in before!

Alan

> Time to admit a bit of self-interest here! I am a bodywork and rust

> once and for all. So now I have done, and it is called 'GOT RUST?'
>
> The first car I did a full restoration on was my 1956 English Ford, in 
> 1976,
> and almost all of the places where I fixed the rust have stayed un-rusted,
> despite the fact that the car has stood outside for over 20 of those 33
> years in our HORRIBLE climate (Rad Davis has seen the car - I think he's 
> the
> only (former?) VVer who has, though!).
>
> I have been thinking and philosophising about rust for most of the
> intervening 33 years (I know, I know, it's very sad and I need to get out
> more!), and I have come up with a number of methods which as far as I know
> are unique to me.

> I certainly don't know of any other professional (as opposed to hobbyist)
> restorers who use these methods, because they are labour- (and so cost-)

> owner (except you Seth!), (;-))) and so I have done a small (8-page) 
> booklet
> that takes you through all the stages of fixing rust and treating and
> painting it.

> One of the two examples I use in the booklet is a Lancia Beta windshield
> surround, and these are almost identical to a Late Model Corvair 
> windshield
> surround (in fact the reason I knew how to fix the Beta windshield was
> because I have fixed Late Model Corvairs before).
>
> The booklet has full colour pictures and a description of each stage of

> process, and I have put 35 of them on eBay.co.uk under my ID

> Here is one of the auctions, as an example:

> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360135445938
>
> The price there is 3.99 GBP + 2.75 GBP S&H, but I am offering a VV special
> deal price of $8.50, shipped to the USA in a board-backed, 'DO NOT BEND'
> envelope (that's a discount of about $1 off the regular price). I showed 
> the
> partially-completed text to a prominent VVer a couple of months back, and 
> he
> said he thought the material was good and that I should consider making it
> available to VV - and so I am doing!

> ship a bunch of them (not that much - S&H to the USA is quite cheap).
>
> If interested please send me an email, and if you want to see more of our
> work (we use our work as the basis for the text and pictures in the 
> booklet)
> there are detailed pictures on our website, www.westernlancia.co.uk
