Many thanks guys. Putting that rear bar together was the best fun so far.
I can see the finish line...somewhere between now and Christmas...fingers crossed.
Greg - long time no hear. Where is yours up to?

Ditto from me Mick - This has been one hell of a good yarn and not over yet.
Stewart, are you sure you didn't have a rello somewhere that had another old Holden that you could search for, find and do a resto on (with a 327 in it just for balance
)
Great stuff mate

I know what you mean Mick. This as Chapter 1...I'm looking forward to all the fun and stories we will make with with it
Thanks Dave.
My Grandfather on my Mum's side had a '40s? Chev...but well and truly looooong gone. I can't see another project for some time...next is to get the FB back on the road after the breakdown on the way to Mt Gambier Nats...

Hey Stewart,
Good work on getting those trunnions in! Great that you're learning it all along the way.
Checked out my spare selectors and thay all seem to have various degrees of 'bend' in them too
Keep up the good work - looking forward to sseing the 'on road' pics and video in the near future!

This is just an awesome build, kinda mind blowing really.
If you could bottle passion for a build and sell it you would be a very rich man....
I've been wondering if once finished you will have to wind the clock back to zero??

Stewart I have just spent the last couple of hours re reading this thread.
It is a massive credit to you and all of those that have helped. Old Timer is looking fantastic and I'm sure the whole story has inspired many a forum member, including myself.
Thanks for taking the time to share your adventure

This is an awesome post and truly inspiring. I am keen to get one of my own although with a lot less rust as I do not know any Louie's myself.
Looking forward to the updates.
