Hi John, Looks like you are cracking on with Doug's car - he will be happy. Such a shame for you Doug that the end of January has come and gone and so now you are on the new pricing scheme ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Luv Di

Underside is all sprayed with stoneguard now. Will get some thick gloss black over that tomorrow. Then we can get it right way up again and start on the 1/4 panels and custom roll pan . Didn't plan on doing any work on the floor but this is typical of an old car once you strip it right back. There are always unexpected surprises. . It's only money Doug. he he.

Yep I was a bit surprised that it had the rust in the floor and the other spots - the only place it was visible was the sill. Reckon the timing was definately right to get this done before it got too bad and cost even more

Humpyboy.....what makes you think you will have time to sit in front of the computer when you retire Its 7 days a week, with no days off Please allow me to elaborate, when I mentioned "this work capper" I meant for some other clown ie "The boss" I look forward to the day I wake up and go to the shed to do my own work for me and not others I don't even care if it takes all day and night so long as I don't have a nappy following me all day long.

John does a brilliant job so should look great when it's done Doug, you've sure put the hard yards in on this.

Heading into a new week and its time to pull the motor down to check it out, just wondering if anyone can recommend a place in Brisbane to do the cylinder head ... going to unleaded valves. It looks like the head has had some work so I need someone that knows their way around modded red motor heads ...

Thanks John spoke with them today, sounds like the go! ;D ;D Greens Nice certainly sounds the goods, and goes hard too! Will be aiming to pull the motor down tonight / tomorrow night and drop it in on Wednesday. Spoke with Rares today he is not sure if the tailgate skin will be in by then though ... I guess you have a few other things to be going on with!

We now have 2k primer on the r/h 1/4 panel and doors. The body is flipped over to the other side and welding finished on the l/h 1/4. Roof is nearly done. We should have the whole cab in primer by the end of the week.

We now have the L/R 1/4 panel and roof in 2k primer and the custom rear roll pan with rego plate recess is welded on. The guards and bonnet are all under way. Once they are done we have to trial fit all the panels and get all the gaps nice. Very time consuming but we are getting there slowly. Cheers John
