Amazing build mate! N Chop Shop have done some top work along with yourself

FCRB26

Worked on the LS1 EK yeste not the FC for the chop shop doing a bit of love swapping between cars. Im good with stainless Lauries good with front ends.

So i got all the crossover pipe and flanged ends finished for them and grained the dump pipes.

FC has moved again and should start doing the front end soon...

Arvo in the shed trying to do the tank for the FC and theres always a distraction .
So after the kids go to bed ill try roll it up.

Got all the body cut
Baffles cut (angle slot bits)
sides cut
All bead rolls put in
Stepped the main body so it looks cool.






Rolling its a bastard so the stepped swage stays in there. fingers crossed.
