Those wheels look spot on perfect - great balance between tyre, whitewall and cap.

Cheers,

well iv been working on the 32 every day
had some quotes for panel and paint both quotes around $25 grand so iv decided il do this one myself
i did the panel and paint on the chopped ute so il do this one also
finished up all the steering


mounted the aircon and finished the vents in the dash

finished making up a storage box that sits behind the fold down seat
this will house the battery and the wiring harness along with some storage area for things

also gives me somewhere to hide the retractable seat belts

made up some door trims along with some arm rests
il probably trim these in the colour of the interior the marked lines indicate where il run the stiching
also mounted up the inside door handles and power window swithches

im flat out on the body now blocking every thing getting the panel work straight and gaps correct
massive job but really enjoying it
been a while since i did the chopped ute


yeah im on a ladder so no short jokes
car is now starting to look like something
really happy with the proportions soon to lift the body off and then on to the rotissery where i can really stsrt getting that body spot on
il do some more updates when i progress a little further

You have been busy! Looking good.

[CHOPPED]

forgot to add this photo
iwanted to run a windscreen dimister that runs off the aircon
so i made up a inside frame that mounts the windscreen
with provision holes which will direct hot air onto the sceen
i wont go into detail of how i did the venting under the dash
i will probably trim this in fabric to match the inside that way il hide the edge in creates

[Devilrod]

I've spent the last two days on my roadster, fixing the engine...

[Oldfart]

Nice to see a 32/34 with a F O R D engine instead of the usual Chev, it's a Windsor 302 with aluminium heads?

[CHOPPED]

yeah mate its a personal thing
i like fords in fords
i had a chev sitting in the shop but i really didnt want that in the rod
its a 347 stroker will run a 671 wiend blower

you did body and paint on the ute and even considered paying somebody else i know it's a shitty job (body and paint) but unless you absolutely knew who was doing it and are run off yor feet with other work i don't understand why
