Quote from: FCRB26 on February 13, 2013, 05:55:56 AM
Plans are (as its a company vehicle ;D )

To make sure its roadworthy and my mate that does all the 50,s looking signage is going to do a cool looking logo for the doors ect.


Ill see what its like when it gets here i may lower it a bit but dont plan on cutting it up or anything drastic..

Well kinda sorta got carried away.
And my theory of having 2 grey motor powered old girls wasnt practical .
I wanted something to just get in and go anywhere.

It wasnt what it was meant to be fully recod brakes  were stuffed maybe fully recod 40yrs ago but were meant to be S/S sleeved they werent.
Motor was meant to be tight as and was smokey old low comp girl
Suspension needing everything doing.
Was happy with the body but by the time i do brakes engine box suspension there wouldnt be much change from 6 or 7K so i figure i had the VS 5.0l which owed me roughlly 1K and fully reco box owes me 1700 diff free so far but id say $500 for axles brakes all recod owe me $900 with all new DBA rotors recod callipers tailshaft $250 radiator $240 ect ect

That’s the worst attempt at justification I’ve seen in a while, is that how you sold it to the wife?  Just face it Pete, you love cutting up stuff and putting it back together in a much better, way cooler form  ;D ;D ;D

P.S. I think I have sold my projects to better halves (and myself) using the exact same logic and rationale as you many times before, must be some form of illness - better look into that...

JB, Pete and NES,

sold my conversion along the lines of needing an unleaded motor.

My darling still frowns when someone says that the greys or reds can run on unleaded.  ;)  ;) ;D ;D

Cheers

Wait till my mrs finds out the 5.0l for her EH is in my ute she has no idea.
Just pissed off i had to modify the ute when i promised her it was a turn key get in and drive car.

Tailshaft came back yesty dearer than the last one that i picked up 2 months ago nearlly double so must of used gold filler wire or something? he didnt know why the other was so cheap?
Looks like a new billet yolk where as other one was second hand.

That photo is about as fuzzy as my head this morning good pub dinner tho.


Might get stuck into the rails weld them up and fit the crush tubes this weekend so its all done.
Came up with a solution to stop my hatred of the bannanas on the top of the engine so i ordered a harrop dual plane manifold with a aeroflow billet throttle body and machined injector ports into it so it will run a top mount air cleaner now but still retain the injection.

As dean said i just wing it as i go.
