thought i might share my project with the fellows

[sexyfc]

The tubs cost $250 a for the pair, theres no modifying of the boot only cutting that little bit from the original tub to the rail.. Im running a 8 1/2" wide rim with a 245 tyre....  and 9 inch diff... If your going to go this way you do the tubs first then sit what ever wheel you want to use, make sure there square to each other and have adequate space (aprox 20mm) between the tyre and tub. Then measure the distance betweeen the back of the 2 wheels and thats your diff width... Im actually going to full tub the car after i have finished it, so i can run a 345 or so.. I should have done it in the first place. The only reason i didnt is because everybody was booked out for a least 10 months....

cheers John

Hey John,Your car is looking better than when I first saw it you just got it back from the sandblasters, you probably don't remember me but I got a door off you bout 18 months ago or more from the opposite side of town to where you were living. Just a couple of questions what master cylinder are you running & I am pretty sure you do have to have a collapsible steering column also I thought you had to have a welding certificate to do the mods yourself Re: the chassis strengthening. ???  This is only what I have been told over the years so not sure.I am doing a van up at the moment was going V8 but changed my mind again for the 500th time ;D  Now am going to run full VN V6 comm. gear. Anyway your car is looking great can't wait to see it in the flesh or paint probably better.
Steve. :-\

Thankyou very much Pete for the comments. I have ordered 320 sq feet of almond cream colour leather from the states which should arrive this week some time. Then off to the trimmers. Not sure of any patterns but i want it to look sleak and not too busy.

Nice stance and colours work really nicely.

Beautiful job with the whole build. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. Good to see another Chev in an Early Holden. We should meet at a drag strip some day and have a play.
