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 Title: Re: Grey One's Rebuild Post by: greyone on July 13, 2008, 05:35:51 PM got the headlining in today

Title: Re: Grey One's Rebuild Post by: CraigA on January 03, 2009, 11:19:07 PM 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.
