The paint looks awesome JB, they did a great job on getting it straight  Cool Cool, unfortunately unless you start working 24 hrs. a day on the old girl the race is all but over lol, mine should be pretty well complete in another week and a half,  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin i've been working flat out to get her finished as a mate is having a car show which gave me a deadline as he wants the old girl in it.

Please father forgive me my sins. It's been 131 days since my last real update and the moderator gave me a yellow card (twice- so should be red card???)

Edit: JB got up me

Anyhoo continued on the chassis rails and wished I bought the crs one. Made a bloody mess with old mate Gary grinder. BUT he saved the day and covered my awesome welding skills up with a flapper disc.


This is my 14 degree bend in the bar that goes across the tunnel


This end will sit on the rails the go lengthways up the car


Never got a photo of the length on their own but here it is 80% assembled. I need to extend to between the Y frame now and cut a curve in the centre of the H bit so it won't fowl in the tailshaft.

I put a bar in the garage to keep me company. As if there wasn't enough room already.
The brewery up the road has Growler bottles that are 1.98L.
I told my wife once open it has to be finished other wise it goes flat. Ps stole a glass from the pub too. Oops

The only advantage with the crs kit is that the cutting and welding is already done.  I reckon yours looks good NES and is also good to see some more progress.

Yes, but you didn't mention that you were sending me photos and not putting them on here lol.

Is good to see you doing a bit mate! Flapper discs are pretty good at hiding my welds too.

Cheers
