Final gaps on doors getting done and some patchwork on another guard. The one that was to be used was a Frankenstein guard.

Will be pretty close to original apart from some engine mods, twin carbs and extractors. Deep dish 13' steelies with the bullet caps and nuts. Old skool like you would have done it in the day. Probably too modified for original so it will go in sports category. Still I just want to get it out there and cruise with everyone else. Love it.

What if we all got our fingers out? Imagine how many of these cars would be finished by the end of the year. I've got two projects myself.

Waiting for LHF guard to be metal finished and RHF door. Then hopefully a bit more shiny stuff on the body. Meanwhile I got some bling back this week. Polished Cain manifold. Thought it looked cool and got an old skool alloy rocker cover polished too.

Yes Tim photo opportunity. Would be a family reunion. They wouldn't have seen each other for a few years

Carbs cleaned and kitted all bolts and brackets re zinc plated. About all I can tell you. Did a good job though. Not sure whether to put on car or on the shelf! Auto carburetor services in Adelaide.
