Polished rocker cover should look the part with the polished manifold.

Paul at Delway metal polishers polished the manifold. Am happy with the result. Polished cover looks cool.

I am really enjoying reading this build. Black is a good look.

Hi, Thanks Pauly. I enjoy looking back through it myself. It would be 14 pages long already if i posted every pic i took. Will be great to go to nationals next year and get a photo with all the great restorations happening along the way. Still tossing up whether to use the 13" deep dish steelies or go for 14". I like to keep it like you would have done it in the 60's but theres a heap of nice chrome mags out there. What does everybody reckon??

Heres a pic of the new power house. A few of you would probably recognise it if it was still in its previous owners car. Im not overly tech minded but am told it has head work done, cam, high top pistons and will get the twin carbs soon enough. Should give the old blacky a bit more get up and go and a nice note.

Ready to rumble

I am a bit partial to 13" rims but that's just me .....

For my Blacky I was thinking these, hq gts mags, they come brand new in the old holden stud pattern not the hq/chev pattern

would look like this



Not really 60's period look but makes it look mean!

I think he means the ones in the link Tim - they kinda look like tasmans a bit ....

i have found a set of old original tasmans in excellent condition, with nice centre caps. ...... im working on trying to get the guy to sell them to me. he reckons he is keeping them in case he does a build!!.

A bit more black added to the car. Shadow chrome paint on bonnet x brace looks cool and reflects awesome in the bonnet. Just have to block down the primer now and paint. ( Don't look at the crappy American car in the background!! lol )

Yum , best part of building a car , looking at fresh paint

First outer body painted. Bonnet. Looks like I could dive into this!

Yes 2 pack

So nice.
