Grills are easy to fit..when you know how.And now that you know,you'll probably never have to do it again... :D Progress looks fantastic.What size are your tyres?

Title: Re: Grey One's Rebuild
Post by: Johns on June 06, 2008, 08:05:02 AM

I know how you feel Mal.

My favourite part of Nev's recent re-assembly was unwrapping both the replated die cast surrounds and uprights (FE has five) plus the six or seven stainless horizontal bars and trying to figure how it all fitted together and mounted onto the base which was still in the car. It didn't help that I didn't pull it apart.

Then it was trying to straighten up after putting all of those little 3/8" bolts in, having removed the horn, which of course was in the way of one of them. The ones that fit at the bottom corners on either side were a particular treasure. I was surprised it all fitted together.

Looks good though 8)

Keep up the good work, go the two tone primer ;D

Cheers
John

Car & chrome looks good Mal, make sure the hubcaps are steel & not the stainless steel variety (s/steel are lighter in weight & will only require polishing)

Sounds like he may be a good chromer to send a bulk order to.

Congrats, your mats look great, and so does your project ;D

I think that the flash is making them look redder than they would be in real life.

Here's the one that my brother painted for Fast Eddie's wagon. The paint spatter was matched perfectly to an original mat and is probably a little finer in spatter size than yours.

They look brilliant in my opinion, even if they were a little heavy on the paint, it will dull with a bit of use and will look fantastic in the car.
