r u guys tig or mig welding

Grey is miserable ,go classy . but then maybe 20 inch wires will class it up
how many colours have you invisioned on it or has it always been grey

Thanks all..

Tig, Mig & arc searsy.. The recent stuff has mostly been tig welded. 90% of the chassis was migededed

First is was black & red, then grey, then black & red now grey again. I think since I got the new wheels it's been grey? Ask me in a few weeks...

As much as some would say make it stand out from the crowd, finishing it in a factory style colour and trim would set that car off! It would leave all the engineering to speak for itself and be like the ultimate understatement. Almost sleeper like... sometimes less is more.

that is so good. finally an update. so

such a credit to you and your old man.

aidan...

Gotta agree with that 100%!!

Outstanding!

I totally agree with the less is more statement. Have you considered something like some pearl mixed into the grey? Leon's fc wagon (fccool) is a good example, straight white over blue with heaps of pearl, evokes factory two tone paint yet is custom enough to get your attention.

Simply awesome.

I agree, plain & simple! I don't want to recreate something to last a period. At least with standard style trim & paint it'll be cool forever.

Same goes for the engine. This is roughly what I want it to look like. Maybe no Chev emblems on the covers though.


Thanks for the comments & suggestions!

Mill the covers flat,remove the logo from the inlet manifold and paint the entire engine up in standard Holden red with a satin black painted plain air cleaner.

Pop some High Output 327 stickers on the rocker covers and your done.

Detailed stock (looking) smallblocks fill my undies with ironbark.

Mate car is coming up a treat, good to see some progress
Very cool
