Still here. Just been busy away from the car for the last 2 months. Not ideal. Managed to get my body however. Not ready for it but it was doing my nut guessing where I was drilling holes without the certainty of knowing where body parts went.

Who made the exhaust?

What rubber spacer washers do you need for hanging the tanks?

Primer and top coat done on the base and car finally off the rotisserie. Playing with seat placement and pedal box placement before doing the brake plumbing and aircon placement.

Got the base painted with POR15 today.

Finally got some more progress over the weekend. After more research discovered that the radiator pipe 90 degree pipes front and back need to turn the same direction front and back. Replaced my 90 degree turns on the front, coupled the back ones and finally got the bottom on the car. Used 3M...

To all Sgt builders ahead of me. Checking something with those who have done their radiator plumbing. I've put the coolant pipes, with the top pipe pointing driver side at the back as Mick said. I assume it doesn't matter that at the front the top pipe is going opposite, to passenger side. The...

After over 2 months doing other things I finally got a day with the car today. One of those days trying to find things and then getting dependencies done. I cleaned, zinc'd and then painted all the areas I needed to before bolting the bottom on. Two coats of Por15 and the garage stinks!

I want one!

I saw yours being built briefly, when I visited Mick a few weeks back. Micks a great guy. Will be missed a lot on the support of my stupid question after stupid question!
