Hey, that looks great.
I did see another van a while ago in that colour though !!!! did you copy him.
Just kidding.

I like the full caps, and it would look good chopped

hey Mick i would employ your services to come and work on my car! i would even pay your airfare here

[captainbill]

nice ride ratbox.love the dumped back end look.

[Oldnblue]

Love it with caps on AND off, but I do think the caps make it look more complete.

I'm always amazed at how quickly you work ratbox...great stuff!

greg, where i live (out near cowra) is the biggest problem with doing work on other peoples cars, and alot of what i do is not shonky but not what i'de feel comfortable charging someone to do
there is times say with mattymartin where he has had to put his car in the shop to get stuff done that sounds easy but the people in the shops don't seem to be being very fair, and i could knock it over quickly and cheap, for instance his recent dissy situation but then i couldn't charge someone to fit a dissy in a red motor it's to easy, no offence matty
the speed with which i do things i think i'm a little obsesive compulsive and can't put things off they have to be done yesterday,like painting the van i didn't need it done till next friday so i could have done a far better job (it's good enough now) but instead i was out there early in the morning and going at it all day when there was no need other than to get it finished, i wish i had the patiance to do a full on strip down and rebuild but i think that would kill me same goes with driving wish i could have a red or grey motor and just sit back cruise along and do 55-60MPH ya still gunna get there but no i've gotta do 100-110KPH
thanks for everybodies comments does anyone know where i can get 2 only of the caps on the car only seem to be able to buy them in 4's, not johns rod and customs i can buy 4 for what he wants for 2

Rat, I paid roughly $150- aud to my door from usa mooneyes. ROBBO's sells em and hes pretty cheap but had none left when I wanted a set, nice bloke but... not a smart arse like me!!!!!!!!!!! (did you have full control of the vehicle when you attempted to skid the rear wheeels of the vehicle?? LOL)
