I seriously considered going down this route myself
I needed a new induction system etc
However the thought of possible dodgy Chinese semi conductors and zero local backup made me stay old school!
New inlet , new distributor , new DP 750 Holley
Blah blah
However I do have option on fuel tanks as I ...

Managed to get my axle fully de rusted and in Epoxy

Still been at it!
Got the upper cowl all welded in and in epoxy
So as far as metal cleaning, welding etc the shells ready for blocking and painting

Haha I was speaking figuratively, my project car ,
But it belongs the the now retired owner of the coach company I work for,
As does the container!
I’m just a minion,
The cars almost done now but basically no longer particularly desirable,
Cost vs value is a sticky matter now,
My TA is passion so I ...

Squared up the left door, sill and B post yesterday and today
Probably one more blocking session before the last primer coats,

My V12 4 speed E’ been sitting in my dehumidified container now since I painted it in early 2017!
It’s almost complete now apart from interior and glass
Still looks as good as the day it was coloured

October was my penciled in month,
Simply because I thought I’d be ready to go by then,
And we normally have a half term week where were busy at work , then it’s quiet so an idea time to get it to my booth and colour it,
But looking at where I currently am it’s looking unlikely I’ll be ready by then ...

I’m currently waiting for a new wiper motor to arrive, then once test fitted I can weld in the upper cowl panel and get it finally all in epoxy,

It’s unlikely now I’ll be in a position to paint the shell by October as I’d hoped, so will probably abort that and get the shell built up and look to do ...

Been flat out this weekend, well Friday and today

Al most done on the shell, the right side is in epoxy and just a bit more squaring on the left side
Once this side is in epoxy I’m going to take a break

Haha I thought it was a Thanet thing?
A fellow I worked with would say it all the time !

Ok so Summit sent me another tank which arrived in one piece!
Nice one summit !

Squared the right hand door /A and B posts , sill and got them in epoxy,

Just the left side to do now , and waiting on a wiper ...

Got the epoxy blocked and the shell is now in 2k
Primer it’s not laser show straight but way better than driver quality so that’s good enough for the girls I know !

Refurbished the column and the steering wheel
This week, how durable the wheel will be is anyone’s guess,
But it will do for the time ...

Summit are send me a replacement tank
Fingers Crossed!

Yep just had a reply from them ,
Need photos and what I’d prefer to do ?
So I’ll get this sorted tomorrow,

Finished the Shaker and the boot lid today
Next up doors and refurb my axle

Got the roof blasted and in epoxy and the shaker is completely stripped and in epoxy

Another summit order has arrived but unfortunately my new fuel tank is dented!
Bummer

My Shaker has definitely seen some action!
From the part number I think it’s from a 73’
455, guessing some kind of custom at some stage as it was absolutely buried in filler to make it completely smooth?
And it’s been Red at some point, typically Thunderbolt and Lighfoot !
But I’m going to use it ...
