Got me some new shoes as me ol mate plodgy was getting itchy about using some of those big fancy wheels on his tudor...Cheers mate they suit perfect...
It used to look like a car... Off to sandblast... <TABLE cellSpacing=0 width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR vAlign=middle> <TD class=gensmall align=right></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
sandblasted Etch primer removing old door skins to fit new bear claws and skins and repair bottom of doors.
Now Kiddies if ya gunna buy new patch panels at least etch em not leave em to rust for 12 months.... Body supports for where the doors close... bit of plasma magik! Nothing a bit of a sand wont fix.

New radiator from me ol mate Normy.. Have to change the bottom panel a bit but radiator fits nice. Boys came around today and we got the body on and off the hoist to see how its all lookin. I'm happy with it.
Thats a really fantastic showrod you are building. I love your shop, and all your bikes. I love your ideers, and the craftmanship that goes hand in hand with the little details you build! I find the dash awesome! Headlight are briliant! But I fail to see why you put do much focus on every detail. And still manages too put your steribg wheel on the wrong site! Change nothing, love everything! Get at it, and Follow it true, in same pace and manner as you started out!

Ok so sorry for the lack of updates but we were keeping it in hiding until it debuted in Japan at the Mooneyes Yokohama show in December 2016. On its way to Japan.. My 2 x daughters on the cover of an Aussie magazine with it released just after Mooneyes.
