    Looks great! Did you mock up the car before you had the motor work done? You are going to be one popular guy driving around in that!

    Seeing your car made me think that why couldn't I buld my car as a right hand drive? I'm building one from the ground up... Hmmm.. It would be different over here.

    That is coming out very nice. I'd normally stray away from a using color that light but it really works, I like it a lot.
     
  24. Man, that looks good! I don't know what it is, but I wish I was flat knacker on the '38! Err, unless it's something, you know, unnatural, or something...

    Hey Frank, good work. Like the plates = I was thinking of something along those lines, but couldn't bring myself to order them until the car is further advanced.

    Is that one of Brownlee's bodies or one out of Victor O'Niel's molds?

    What width rear end did you use? I'm in the process of narrowing a falcon rear for my coupe, to use as a temporary one Til I can set up a QC. I'm using an XF Ute diff with 2 short axles - 58" wide.

    Cheers

  27. Who's HO PUP??? [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I hope you realize now that you're gonna have to explain that like a thousand freakin' times..........kinda like "hey, you're wheel's on the wrong side!"
     
  28. Thanx for the positive commments guys...makes it easier to go into the shed when you cant be stuffed doing it

    The ute is an XY Falcon ute - owned by fellow Hamber....Flatoz. Its his daily driver, when hes not drivin the roadster!! I don't have any pix of it but the colour is like mustard, mybe a bit darker....if u know what I mean. Similar to Jim Benitez's Deuce Tudor....paint it the same kolor...hmmm, theres a thought !!

    Tinting the primer was a kool way to get an idea of how the car would look....flat /suede black is always gonna look kool but its kinda gettin' boring....yeah?

    Stovebolt, the diff is out of a Centura....can't remember the exact width now but I an check it if u like!! 5 stud axles and 3.91 gears - beautiful. Even better....I got it for close to zero dinero !!

    I ended up adapting the big finned Mopar CL/CM Valiant drums to it coz the Centura brakes are shit and parts are too pricey. Too easy....

    The body is a Deuce Customs one. I added the cowl vent, modified the firewall and column mount to suit my setup.

    Email me if u need the info.....

    Peddro....if they have to ask what it means, then they prob dont need to know ...right? Now you know whay I did'nt make it to Ballarat !!
