FC Ute

Yeah. I think I will get away with that apart from a small section in the inner guard. I want the inner looking as original as possible. But I wanted flush clean lines under the fe.

Ute is going on the chassis table friday and inners are coming out. :(

On a happier note all the extra effort re radiusing bumperettes and repairs paid off they are smick.



And on another subject I found a torana hatchback hatch on the side of the freeway yesterday ?
No rust clean as couple of dints was a weird find.

[Stewy]

Great work as always Pete.
Does this mean that you will be making inner sills with the circle pressings?  (Hope So)

Cheers Stewy   8)

[FCRB26]

We have weighed up our options and am going to a thicker inner sill to stiffen her up.
I also reckon as soon as I finish the tooling rares will bring them out so havent done anymore with it.

Got too much happening of late.
Havent even seen the ute got sent some pics.
I helped weld it to the table 3 weeks ago.
Havent measured inners.
Lots on at work and employees off.





Old inners and outers are gone.
I got hold of a big hand held spot welder and dave re spot welded inners in with added welding looks factory.
Also new outers fitted.
Everything has been done twice really starting to get annoyed at the lack of care off some suppliers.
some of my chrome was sent back big bubbles in a few pieces.
Stainless trim 9 months later it supposedly done so pissed off the lies and bullshit I was fed about where they are up too.
Wants more money and im still not sure im even getting them. If they dont come back i shall be going for a flight to QLD.
Steering boss from classic industries was an ididit one ordered it off hulio.
No dramas it arrives no horn assembly I thought oh they stuffed up no I didnt order one with horn kit apparently even tho i asked for his recomendation.
Ok so i email classic industries how much for the horn kit?
Oh we dont do it seperate FFS
So i email IDIDT no we cannot sell it seperate.
So i re order a new one with horn kit $64 dollars US so the dollars down and freight was more expensive $219aus landed so nearlly $440 bucks to get my boss kit.
happy days...
so any schedule i had has blown out again..

[NES304]

Whoa!!! Where's the anger button to press??

[Gman]

I feel your pain, it sucks having to rely on other people to get things done sometimes.... Try explaining that to customers all the time >:(

[fe350chev]

Hope it all goes well from here on Pete.

[DJ]

Whoa!!! Where's the anger button to press??

It's inspiring to see you don't take short cuts or settle for second best Pete, regardless of the speed humps.
