67 hour week?? sounds like more money for RUDD and some more for the FC  looking real good jamie. I bloody gave away a set of nos sills a few years ago, Im trying to get them back, hopefully I will. Your work looks like its going real well, keep it up!!!!! Paul Jamie, Where did you get the sills from? I got some from RS but they do not have the end sections or the cutouts like yours... Neil |

Hey Neil,mine also came from Rare Spares and I rang them tonight about some other parts so I asked them and they said they still make them with the ends on them.Sounds a bit dodgy to me seeing as how others are making them without the ends.How much were they roughly?The Rares ones are about $160 and the others from Craig Vane are a lot cheaper.Cheers,Jamie.

How is it that no one in this great country of ours can repro quality components the sills are rubbish floor pans are rubbish special badges ect the sills from Queensland are pretty good but without the ends for some people is a real problem.
The yanks have in down pat you can buy a whole camero or A model for ect why cant we do it??
Maybe their is not a big enough market who knows.

I'd say that the problem so far has been that old Holdens haven't been worth that much, up until a couple of years ago you could still buy a project for around $500 and one on the road and registered for a couple of grand, now that the prices have gone up things will probably change though, in America they are now remaking full shells for a lot of the old cars the bloke next door to us is buying a rusty Mustang here and importing a complete shell from yankeeland then just swapping all the parts over, wouldn't it be wicked to be able to just order a new FE/FC shell .

Well done jamie watching your build is giving me some great hinters at my Van build not as good as yours but I will be happy just to get mine finished. Don't worry about all the photo's of things that don't look important to you they are for us on this side of the forum. steve

Thanks Steve,I'll be glad to get mine finished too.All Painted now except for the front guards which I picked up from the sand blasters tonight (got a bit sidetracked with the rest of the car).Going to start on the Fall red highlights inside this weekend hopefully then all the doors can go back on as I wait for the Acrylic to dry properly before cut and buff.More pictures soon.Cheers,Jamie.

Got some more done this weekend.While I'm waiting for the final coats to dry properly I decided to get the Fall red inserts done and will get the red done on the doors soon so they can go back on the car although I should really do the rubbers before they go on.I'm in a bit of a spot because cash is short at the moment and the rubber kit is almost $2000 so I might put em on them take them off again down the track.Don't be too critical of the paint on the body,I'm yet to find out if it will cut and buff up ok and I am a little concerned about the roof as it has a few dry spots and I've never painted a full car before with clear mixed in so I don't know what to expect.Got my guards blasted during the week and as you can see they need a bit of work.I figure I've repaired a lot worse rust than this so should be ok...  Guards blasted and now in primer...     Red looks more correct in this photo...  Had a bit of trouble with the spray dust hanging around so I fixed it.Works a treat..More soon,Jamie. |

Looking good Jamie, don't worry about the dry spots that's the beauty of painting with acrylic, you can give it a rub down with some 1200 wet and dry before you buff it to flatten the paint and remove any rough spots.
