Projects Belly Tank Build, NZ.

Sat in it last night after i put the lower body on and strapped myself in.... now that gave this thing a whole new feel. So what's to do before the show, bleed the brakes ,fit the upper body pieces so they don't fall off and drag it on the trailer then wrap it up because the weather isn't looking good for the trip over and much worse for the trip home on Sunday.

Anyone interested in the Show? JW

 

Yes, I saw a few photos of the show on FaceBook and your Belly Tank was there. Looked good.

If you have pictures, put them up! Pictures are good!

 

Hi Glen, Dave, it was a long weekend as we went to the Fielding swap meet on the way and were going to come home after set up Saturday afternoon then go back and pick it up Sunday afternoon ( two hours each way)but chose to stay the night in Levin as we both had a bug. The motel cost much the same as the return trip for gas.
The show was fun and i lost my voice talking to people at the swap and lost it again at the show as there many talks about it. When we unloaded and placed on display i stood back and thought it really didn't look like much but that changed as the day went on. JW

 

yes they are JW

 

At the end of the day. JW

 

And on the way home, we only encountered a small amount of rain both ways. JW

 

Well it's been a bit but after the October show i realized i had a bit of burn out getting it ready and having our local annual show four weeks later i needed a break which has given me some time to look at what's next, that will be hinging the front section. I have started making the four arms at work, will also make some solid mounts for engine and box and i may look at starting the engine as is over the Xmas break just to check how it all works.
This was 2/3 rd's of our display, Tank and my T RPU, Mrs W's 64 1/2 Mustang is out of shot to the right. There was lot of interest and mostly sensible questions.....was a good day out. JW

 

Tank's looking real good, lots of progress, wont be long you'll be blasting around in it.

 

Thanks, Jamie and how's yours going? JW

 

That's a nice old van parked next to your rpu.

 

Looking good.

 

I like them too, CA Bedford. JW

 

Where i have cut out for the roll cage will be built back up to be level with the top of the body, (or close to it) this will flow into the windshield i have for it. A friend has offered to wheel up some ali for the job. This will make the cage look a lot lower and cleaner lines. JW
