    amazing.... especially consider it looks like it's being built in a 1.5 car garage. The amount of time invested must be huge. The attention to detail is second to none. Your work is magnificent!
     
  9. Damn! Steve, if I sent the grease******* over to you would you finish it !!??!! I'm sooo intimidated!!

    If I get this P.O.S. on the road I'll be ****** lucky. I'm 61, at the rate I'm going, I'm running out of time......:eek:

    32ft x 15ft, its not the size but what you do with it :D

    Yep there is a few hours in the car but not as many as you would expect :)

    Thanks for the thumbs up :)


     
  14. Naw, mine's about 5' 6" with blonde hair & curves. She's the very least of my problems. She doesn't understand why I don't just pay someone to finish the car. :rolleyes:

    Steve,

    This really is going to be a fantastic Rod when done, and that doesn't look like it will be too long!

    Now just imagine your 32, Dave 33 Russ's 32 ( when it finally gets done!) and Pauls F100 panel all lined up in the Sunshine. Sungl***es? More like welding goggles!!

    You could always have a sneak preview on Sunday.......

    See you then,

    P.

    Havn't had time to post any updates as i've been stripping the 6 carbs for paint :(, was going to leave them raw as i couldn't decide what to do.

    Carbs have been completely stripped and each part masked off (not a job i would want to do often), all bolts replaced with stainless that i've polished :( Painted with just the green mettalic as i think they flake would buildup on them too much.

    Here's the first 3 fitted up :)

    Langy I luv how your car has turned out! Thanks for the free lesson.

    If you ever come for holiday to Phuket let me know and I will show you around and teach you the ropes here and show you the cool places to stay beside the sea in secluded areas that are cl*** but cost pennies.

    Cheers Andy
