Email them to me as well if you want, I'll scan the feature from the car audio mag too.

I'm keen to see the ole girl too!!!!

C'mon Gary where's the pics!!! ;D ;D ;D

Bad timing, do you realise Berwick Swapmeet is the same day......

what in the hell is hot rod running gear ???
small block auto 9" is pretty much run of the mill hot rod running gear
i think what you may meen is he's putting it on a full custom made chassis which is still not hot rod
unless he's putting it on a '32 chassis with a sidey ;D

:o ;D ;D ;D

Well put Ratbox. FC with a sidey, mmmm I've seen an XP so why not?! :o :o :o

Whoa! De ja vu....... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Vans looking very orange ;) :D :D

Sorry Uncleraggy no go with the number, he didn't write it down. It was parked somewhere along Mornington Tyabb Road.
I have another mate who lives not far from there who I'll be seeing this weekend so I'll get him to go past and see if it is out on the weekend.

Sunday will be the earliest I will see him, don't have his number, its at work :-[

Bringing this back to the top and for a very good reason.

Its resurfaced!!!!! And is for sale,sadly I don't think i'll be buying it back. But if anyone wants the number a member of the vic FC/FE club saw it and has it written down. I have no idea of price or condition other than it still looks good...his words.

Candy and lace or metalflake? Pearls and ghost flames or.........

Got any ideas?

Here's one idea perhaps...

Very very nice. 8) 8)

Can't wait to see it finished.

I too also used one, although in my EK. One thing you will need to do if using factory EK auto Carpet is take to it with the heat gun to remove the molded section over the factory bracing. On EK's this was put on the inside not the underside.

I'm running an ICE (Autobahn and Repco seem to be stockists in Vic, at least they were 4 years ago)  on my roadster and outperformed the Davies Craig both in price and cfm from memory. Just cant seem to put my hand on the specs, will look over the weekend when I have time.

One thing I have noticed is all brands of thermo fans seem to loose a bit of oomph after a few years and definitely don't work nearly as well. Mines borderline for replacing. No where near as good as it was when new.

Not sure what size to go up to. I'm about to go through the same exercise in the EK, it runs hot on the freeway but if you coast down a hill it cools down and is fine in traffic and at lower speeds. Radiator isn't blocked but water flows to fast to cool. I'm guessing its a 75 (going by gauge), I only checked to see if it had a thermostat when I put the motor in not what heat range.

Its amazing how much of a difference a shroud will make. I had a 308 LH Torana, it ran at 3/4 in traffic, standard fan no shroud, with shroud no higher than half day in day out. Also make sure your thermostat is in the right heat range. Sometimes higher is better. It gives the water a chance to cool through the radiator if it takes longer to open. Something people tend to avoid doing is fitting a higher temp thermostat. I have senn cars run hot but a simple swap up in the range solved the problem!

I had one on my old grey powered EK with a pipe that angled down slighlty, end result someone would always have a bit of burnt lawn when I'd leave a party ::)








My understanding was they didn't work with EFI. A word of warning with these you are slowly killing the bores of your block by flooding raw fuel through it and washing away any oil.
Contrary to popular belief you don't need big revs to get good flames..... just good hand and feet coordination. ;D ;D

Thanks for that Chuck, really nice looking ute. Some great work for sure.

Sorry for the hijack Harko!

A watermark is your best bet, at least the image is unusable.

Hey Chuck got any more pics? You can email them if you want...thats awesome!!!!!

devilrod at aapt dot net dot au (despam addres first  ;D)

Congrats Scotty, nice feature. Its a good feeling isn't it!  ;)

Good stuff Scotty, at least you know what it will look like if you plan on running centrelines ;)
Although I'm guessing no v6 for yours..... Fluffy will be curious.
