gee alex, you are getting old, must be nearly time to get a fibreglass streetrod with billet wheels or a FC resto with every nasco accsesory ever made fitted to it and a 1" lift.

what have you got inside your motor? what box and diff and carb?
whats your fuel system like, do you have a surge tank on top of the fuel tank? if so did you have to close it in around it or was the wood board over the spare area enough?
did you get a manifold fabricated?

holly s%#t,
any under the bonnet pics, what blower did you use?

gee after seeing these new grills i think i might have to go out and start on my grill made from kitchen hardware.

FE- FC are the same as some chevs, fb-ek have a orange band that goes around instead of a needle, hr i am sure also goes in but looks different again.

what i want to know is does 59-60 elcamino and impala speedo's go straight in and do they need to be recalorbrated if they can be and does it use the early holden cable end,
anyone know or do i have to buy one to find out?

my kids have seen that over and over, its very well made, thought out and watchable, has me on the edge of my chair everytime i watch it.

looks like it could be a 53 chev speedo.

What is the border of a too far gone and good peroject these days.
if you are going to replace the inner sills, outer sills, floor sections, do major reconstructive surgery on the A pillars and boot floor, swap the subframe, rebuild the doglegs in and out and put new rails underneath wich is what your average FC project requires now.

shit man, looks like you will have no probs getting finnished in time for the next nats.
just wondering, were its in primer, and you can see blue, is that polyester spray putty?
the body and paint has come up well.

were the dummy spots on before?

sheeet, i am a turkey, the chrome horn bar covers it and makes up the gap.

I dont know whats going on, i have a ej-h auto column (hopefully) blanked off, i just noticed the steering wheel centre to be a smaller diameter than the last peice on the column, did i do bits of the wrong column or is there something here missing?

it keeps raining on and off here so taking on filler and primer is risky, i got this part sent from Jamie (fehotrod)


and wacked it in,


after that i had a accident with may left hand, right wrist, the grinder and a cup brush and just decided to drink bourbon for the rest of sunday evening.

ken that sounds word for word what the guy at motorsport connections said, is that out of a book?

just stuck this on youtube, from back when my car was alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Ujma1lBac

forgot to mention, we have a pain in the but law in nsw, the guy at the shop says its not really known if the plastic helps but its required, he could do uncovered quicker and cheaper but he said they were race only and i would be at risk if i was pulled over, worse thing is it takes some of the braided look away.

are these hoses adr approved, they should have a approval number and a clear plastic outer over the braid, otherwise they are race only.

didnt mini's post before say" try ebay, they seem to be pulling good money there"?

looks like things are moving along fast and proper,  looks like you have a pretty decent car there.
looks like marrying a panel beater was a good move too.

Thanks greame, i run out of time, typical of a day with good weather for working on the car we have a family function today, i still got a little welding done this morning and now i have the length for next saturday.
there is a place around the corner called motorsport connections that makes them here, the fronts cost about $75 each, what did you pay for yours?

would anyone by chance know exactly how long a rear brake hose is, i have a hr rear, I need to do some running around tomorow morning and was going to stop in and order the rear hose if i get time, my old one was made of two joined together and was way to long, this hose will cost about $90 to get made in approved braided hose so it needs to be rite.
should i make it slightly, like 1/2 " shorter if the car is about 5" lower than standard?
