Pallet packing made me twitch too.

There is a lot more chat in the welding thread. If you really want the cheapest you'll have to do some legwork. I just go with the BOC D-plan coz easy, not big outlay to buy the bottle. Look at Bunnings too. e.g.

Hydrofluoric acid is nasty stuff, can go right through your skin.

Maybe you need to modify the airflow at the back of the car? Couple of options I thought of.

I dunno what the problem is really

Get some new wheels?

I know, I was just winding you up.

Isn't it supposed to go on the front?

Fuel pumps don't seem to like sitting around after running in my experience. Which makes them a pain on project cars. Even worse if there is a bit of moisture in the fuel (from sitting around in half-full tanks)

Is there any particular design, or just a firebox with a chimney?

Lots of small tips you say?

Nothing about the steering box could cause the discs to hit the control arm. The spindle that the wheel rotates on is constrained by the ball joints and the steering stop, so something must have movement/slop that shouldn't be present. Hopefully the mechanic did the check mentioned above rather than a visual inspection.

That's amazing!

Hey @skidmark, really good to see the substantial progress on this massive project. Thanks for providing updates here.

This is my BOC account, seems cheap? Maybe too cheap, I'm not sure. Their website seems a bit out of whack. This is how they list the D-plan for Argoshield.

Why not jam one of these on? https://www.bunnings.co.nz/diablo-165mm-6-5-48-teeth-steel-demon-ferrous-metals-circular-saw-blade_p6370900 The only issue I can see is that the works of the saw may not be well shielded from metal dust from grinding.

I'm waiting for the 89000rpm bit.

It's kind of old, but they approach is good AutoSpeed - Undertrays, Spoilers & Bonnet Vents, Part 1 AutoSpeed - Undertrays, Spoiler & Bonnet Vents, Part 2 AutoSpeed - Undertrays, Spoiler & Bonnet Vents, Part 3

Do you get much reaction / chat from the natives? Maybe some summer cars events coming up?

What kind of lunatic would embark on a project with a recipe like this???

You are probably right, I built my one just after 2000

When you reg it as a new one and get 1 year WOF's

Just putting these here for reference, photos etc from Ford's Iron Mountain plant in UP Michigan where the woodie wagon bodies were built until 1952 when Ford went all-steel and the plant closed down.

Ouch on the steel price!

Yep, just out of Waihi.
