Testament Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 ok I can approve of this because it involves setting British rubbish on fire. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Wow I have a massive bruise on my thigh from dropping this thing on it. Good progress so far. Keen to see it in action at Kumeu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 73crownwagon Posted December 1, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2014 On my last week of uni for the year so finished a little early today so worked on this for a little bit. Decided to put some nice grained plywood into the mix to get a slight surfing look to it on the arm rests and to fill in the holes in boot along with old license plates. Threw some wheels underneath to try get a ride high sorted.in the photos that's sitting at 100 mm so I'm quite happy. Also 360 sand wet sanded the paint last night so get some patina colours showing 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73crownwagon Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks dudes! I'll get some steel later this week and look at making the chassis draw bar and axle. I actually picked up the hubs from BNT auto earlier so it will be rolling on new hubs. Also decided to make a ice fridge for it today. Hopefully make a stand for it to lock onto the draw bar or something for when parked up and sit infront on peps chillen. Made out of a stainless sink and I've plyed around it and I'll fill the back if it with expanding foam to help it from the sun. Plus does anyone have a BBQ for a good cause???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73crownwagon Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 just got home from uni for the day, swung by steel merchants at lunch time and grabbed some steel luckily zebra car wreckers in next door cos i had swing in to grab another wheel because one of the orignal ones was fucked on closer inspection.  mocking up the axle at the moment its looking pretty good, ill hopefully get a chance to weld up the axle at work tomorrow after hours bolt that in place tomorrow night and look at making the draw bar/frame maybe this weekend at home.  pick up bbq tonight from jono so ill mock that up tonight and look at making a roller system so that it pulls out from the boot a bit cos i dont want the boot to fill with grease then its useless for anything else.  all going well might be able to take for maiden voyage to drag day?  i sure don't fuck spiders! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73crownwagon Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Mocked up an axle yesterday arvo Picked up BBQ from Jono she's a minter just had to clean it up my dog helped Made the axle at work after I finished today. Reason for stepping the axle up and across was to get as low as possible! Will finish that tomorrow and start measuring up for frame after work tomorrow Chur http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae322/73crownwagon/2A43D15B-B15A-4BBB-8266-BEC7AE1EBA7B-8150-000014683CD8EBBD_zpsda8c0521.mp4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
