TD42t+t please. liking this project.

Driveline plans?

Thanks to all that attended. Had a good turnout and a ton of lols.

Tonight gents

You are correct fine sir

Oh and the flames are no longer going to happen. Jobs WAAAY too good to cover up with cheap vinyl stickers

In typical fashion (I name everything I own) and being a huge Motörhead fan I dub thee “Ace of Spades”. Kinda fits, black, and low down in the pack….

I will be there

Got these late last night. The tins look bloody good under these lights. Appears he’s corrected the back guard as my fill in jobs no longer apparent.

And that is that. Down the road she goes. Disappointed that I just didn’t have what’s needed to finish it off. New owner is likely to join up and continue the thread on.

And, well over a year later, this will be leaving my possession tomorrow afternoon. It’s the longest project Ive had and the one I’ve done the least on. Oh well….

Progress report from Gloss Boss Total strip back. All filler shown has been removed and redone after these pics were taken. Gave me absolutely no clues as to what colour it’s gonna be. Reckons it’ll be done in a fortnight. Told him no rush, whenever. I’ve done no more to it as I’ve been working on the 4.0ls clutch (cap screws for the clutch touching the intermediate plate) and modifying/creating holes for the lower 4 bolts that attach the bellhousing to the sump. Throw that back together tomorrow, fire it up and send a vid of it running to its new owner. It’s going into a XF ute, 4 barrel and all

Well nearly a year later and I’ve done something about it. Due to RatRod engine/chassis separation (in preparation of selling them off) I’ve put the chassis outside and pulled poor old Vulcan out from its hidey hole and uncovered the tins. As to be expected they’re now rusty. I messaged a real good mate of mine (Gloss Boss on Facebook) and asked what I need to do to start again. He said give em to me for a while and I’ll do it, I’ll come see ya tomorrow. Shows up today and had a mean catchup. Gave him all the primer and paint etc and he said “Nah don’t want it, I’d like to do something better than that crappy black you got”. Sooo….. I have no idea what it’s gonna look like when I get it back. “As long as it is not green” Got out some metal polish and had a quick tub over some surfaces. Surprisingly not much Ali oxidisation. Small amount of rust on rims which I think Coke and tinfoil should mask. Battery is toast as to be expected. Tyres have about 10 psi in them. I’ll do a bit more buffing and see what the paint job looks like when I get them back…
