umm im getting me drill out at the weekend

Looking good Blue

Hey my car will be faster this year as it will be at least 14lb lighter, that's all come off me since the middle of December. I've not been drilled though just walking 4 miles a day and not eating crisps/snacks

pete, get that drill out, you can lose a lot of weight, nick dont try to use the same methods, it might work but will be extremely messy

Well done Nick, free horsepower and feeling better

i only weight 9 st, so i dont think i need to drill meself just yet

Looks great blue, hope to get a retro run at the nats this year, trying to get the dusty sorted and running better this year, but how to compete with this!!! cant be done! as pete said, best car!!!

Cheers guys! Just got in, the bay is finally painted! Thank gawd for that, pictures tomorrow...

Blue are you inner wings all glass now except for the old shock towers ?
If so what supports them...little confused now

You still need them for the Alterktion set up dont you. ?

no you only need the top A arm mounts, the rest (including shocks/ spring) hangs off the altercation subframe i think

Cheers Trev, I really want one for the Cuda.

Blue, do you spray yourself in your workshop?

No, that would be just silly. He paints the car

Actually, I think he gets Pete Rivers to do it

Walked right into that one!

Cheers, Pete! Just wondering how people get on with spraying without specialist booths or anything. THere's always a temptation to set things straight in the engine bay whilst we have the engine out. Need to paint the engine too.

Yes it was all painted in my workshop. It needed some serious masking up and dust sheetage, you get dust everywhere when you start spraying. I did all the prep and masking up, and Pete Rivers came over to prime it and later to slosh on the basecoat and lacquer. I have to say I am very lucky to have mates like him who will come over late at night and spend hours in a freezing cold barn turning out great work like that. He also made the inner wings as well. I should also mention Gary Layton who did the same, Tig welding various bits before it got painted. I also need to name check TrevD who does all my machining and Jeff Brown my graphics guru, without great mates like these I just couldn't do what I do, between them they have the skills I lack, thanks guys!
