FATBOYS OLD SCHOOL UTE

[FATBOY]

a new way to make bog go off quicker in the winter months

[FATBOY]

new eh steering wheel just turned up in really good nic
cheers fatboy

be carefull using the bog at night like that, the metal shouldnt be cold to touch, the bog shouldnt really need much heat to cure it, unless its winter i use upol cool-it to retard the curing time so it doesnt start to cure before i get it all on and into shape.
 you dont want moisture in the air to get in or the metal to rust, the only ways to remove rust are with sandblasting or acid, rust can form on the metal in the night air in half an hour or less so you need to treat it with acid just before you bog and get any moisture of the panel with metho on a rag, especailly at night when moisture from rinsing of the acid wont dry.
 by the looks you know what you are doing and your metal work is probably alot better than mine but the night at this time of year isnt the best for bog, i plan on doing a bit soon in the garage with the door shut and a bunch of supercheap
 your desk layout looks the same as mine but mine has bulleit cans on it and my steering wheel is now in my room.
flas off-

my steering wheel is white pearl over a white base with a bullet in the centre.

my colum is EJ , i was kicking myself after leaving a fully recoed one a year ago at a swap meet for $6o, mine is a auto one with its holes filled, i still need to wire it and find a nice chrome indicator stalk for it but its also painted in the white / white pearl as is the dash fascia, i had some probs like rain in the paint and went a little heavy with the pearl fixing them and overpowered the white so the dash especailly almost looks gold

[FATBOY]

im going to use a eh auto column in the ute and convert it to cable action how did you make yours collapsible any pictures would be great

cheers fatboy

[fccool59]

its not collapsible, its just a six and is kind of only a 179.
i guess you would have to find a colasible colum the same length roughly as ej-eh.

[FATBOY]

bought this off a friend last week i wonder if i can make it fit in the ute or the van

cheers fatboy

[minifcvan]
