your car looks great,question,why the rod holding the bonnet up

The rod is one of those ultra rare NASCO Bonnet Holderupperers that were sold in the NASCO spare parts dealerships as a support measure for sagging bonnet hinge springs.

If you look closely in my avartarry thingo picture at left you'll see a wooden one I had at the Yamba '08 Nationals.

Co-incidentally it looks near exactly like a cut off broom handle

arty FB mad is exactly right, but mine is the up market bonnet holderupperer note the chrome. Rule 1 DONT get your springs chromed when you chrome the hinges as the tensile vanishes hence the NASCO bonnetholderupperer (a very rare nasco product)

This was my EK in the beggining and the main reason why I changed the colour[




I then changed the colour to Hennortt red and did some rust replacementin the front sill caused by the sun visor ends letting water in.

well youve done a good job of savin her

A 1 owner car has to be saved as Im the second owner and the prangs wernt my fault (true)it deserved to be saved and Im not regretting it one bit. The paint is Dupont lucit400 acrylic it polishes up like glass.

Ouch, geez. You have done a great job! Glad its been saved.

here is some shots of my garage/work shop with the latest creation comming out from my business. I not only upholster hot rods but I seem to do more original interiors latley. I also collect Oil cans and Garagenalia.
A very expensive addiction.

Looks good !!

I collect garagenalia as well - commonly called crap or junk

here is a pic of my bomb at a car run to the East coast of Tassie this weekend just gone. It shows the front bonnet badge I made and the dual overriders

I get board easily so I took the hub caps off and put HR cappers (small grease cap covers)and chrome nuts to show off the chromies

Hot Tomato, that looks great!

The shed pics are amazing. I want my shed to look like that

Thanks for the pics Simon,
