MOwHaahahaha!

Awww come on now boys! don't get your titties all tangled! You didn't expect to get happy endings .......on the first date!

Any way here is a color picture! I just finished blasting the fastenings and sprayed them. I am inside to put the kids to bed......and keep you all in the loop!



Blasted and coated on the left and raw on the right.

 

Finally some assembly shots! I've been waiting FOREVER to see the frame and tins going together. Gary

 

Stay tuned folks!

 

He He , good on ya

Shrap

 

Color being layed on today, for me to pickup tomorrow!

 

Tonights progress. Not a lot, but progress all the same. I dropped in the trans and the radiator including fan, headlight and horn relay mounts and overflow bottle.







I should take more pictures in daylight. Very hard to see black on black in the dark!!





This is a very small trans! 18 inches from bell housing to yolk!



Thats it for tonight folks. Tune in tomorrow......same bat time.......same bat channel......for more adventures of the Kiwi built Modified T!!

 

Getting exciting now, I reckon it's painted Green.

Are we starting a sweepstake?

 

What does your drive train consist of again? I've forgotten. Gary

 

215 inch Buick Alluminium V8 with Dynaflow 2 speed trans and Kiwi Quick change on a 46 V8 diff.

 

Thanx, Gary

 

All the good ones are

 

Love your build! Especially the detail like your brake pedal, great work. I almost built a 27 before I finally decided on a 29 and have drawings of the frame that look very similar to what you built. Great project and fantastic workmanship and attention to detail. Can't wait to see the finished car!!

Thanks for that, I appreciate the support.

 

Can I be in on that? Looking forward to seeing the paint job, has the colour scheme turned out like you envisaged?

 

No! You will end up in a dark room with your hands and feet bound with Duct tape! But then some people like that!

Yes It is looking just as I had hoped. My damn camera is just not playing the game though! I will try again.



Trans tunnel with the recess for the shifter.



And then the shifter in position.



Shifter in, cover on and trim ring in position. I will take this to the upholsterer tomorrow along with the Ebrake handle for old leather covers to be made.

I may take my Box Brownie in to the camera shop too!

 

Looking great so far TimberFanny ! Shifter is very cool .


.

 

Very good! LOLOLOLOL SNORT SNORT Gufaw!

 

Here we go Boys and Girls. Some lunch time lookie looks!

 

is that pink you got on there Wade?

 

Its the man version of pink, i think....

Looking sharp Wade. Got anymore pics? Pleazzzze?

 

Duh It's grey.

 

must be your monitor. looks pink to me.

 

Sorry to dissapoint Paul, I used the last of the pink on my old Model A Wheels.

Hold your horses man, I am loading them now.

You may need to change the settings on you PC.

 

Here is one more from the back side of the fire wall. On the inside of the fire wall you can see the sound deadening across the top. I fitted the throtal pedal bracket, which incorporates the mount for the headlight dip switch, and the wiring penetration glands.

 

Looking great, very clean work indeed.

 

I am trying to keep things tidy on the car.....but you should see the rest of the workshop!!!

 

That's ok, I'm constantly fighting the same battle. Just keep the messy areas out of frame and the illusion of a perfectly sanitary environment can prevail.

 

Thank goodness for Smoke, Mirrors and Photoshop!!
