You're a machine NES. What you've achieved with this car is a real credit to you. Just goes to show what you can achieve if you work at a consistent pace. Inspires me to get started on mine. Now, about that chrome plater friend of yours, can you get him to do my chrome as well?

MACHINE?
The driveway that is under the car....I layed that, the stenciled spraycrete under the car, I did that too. And the retaining walls in the background, the grass, the auto irrigation (cant use cause of drought) the fencing, tiles and carpet in the house too. If I lived in a box I could have finished the car by now!!
As for the chrome, I had a front bar done for a carton and now the bloke cant do shonkies any more because someone found out and........ I'm kicking myself now as all the chrome will cost a lot more than what I have put into the car already.

I could give him more beer than FCCOOL, and it would be quality Tasmanian stuff. Just let me know how many cartons he needs.

Otherwise I'd replate the whole car!

Very nice NES. How much have you lowered the car? I think that stance looks perfect.

Putting the rubbers in is a B!t@#. Heres the new chrome chanel installed near rear 1/4 glass. It needs a clean.

fitting the new hoodlining

I put the rubber around the windscreen and to prevent it falling off I wrapped it in tape. It'll aid in giving it a "memory" so it won't spring off when tape is removed. And so the kids don't jump on it I sat it in the opening of the car.

Hey Nes,

In case you're not aware, the stainless trim goes into the rubber before fitting the windscreen to the car.

You may already know this, but you don't want to learn it later!

RET,
     Yes I do know but as stated above the photo I didn't want the kids knocking it over and only had time to wrap the rubber around the glass. 50 year old smashed glass would not make me a happy bloke.

I found it easier to fit the trim to the rubber on the front AFTER it was wrapped around the glass (before installation) but fitted the trim to the rubber for the rear windscreen BEFORE I wrapped it around the glass (prior to install).

HOWEVER,
I can proudly say that the chrome is now fitted and both windscreens installed! And yes they were installed after the hoodlining was put in.  It helps when you do your homework with these rebuilds as it would be a massive mistake to learn from
