Are you sure the engine colour won`t clash with the metalic pink?????

by the way , what`s a "srayed" engine bay ?????? is it a sort of reddish pink?

John, It sure is Spectrum, Paul will do a good price for MMA members so get them B-bods down there.

Andy, what's wrong with pink, It's the colour of your handbag isn't it

Back on track. Got afew more bits done in the garage today, Andy, you will like the first one. Got myself and Anton some METALIC PINK plug lead separators from Ebay, had to spray them though otherwise Andy would have been trying to nick them for his car.

Had to make up some brackets (didn't we Anton) to keep the separators away from the headers so the plug leads don't touch and burn, have still to shorten the leads but you'll get the idea from the pics, also prepared the rad for sraying but only got the top tank done before it got to cold.

Got a bottom Pulley from Martrin, cleaned it up and painted it but it was well rusty so has not come out to well.

Nice work Del (& Anton

)

Sorry we havent come thru with that bottom pulley yet - we've had one delay after another with a few of our bits, so we still havent got our engine & the 'old' bits back from Paul Knight

We're trying to arrange to get it all back soon after he returns from hols on the 5th Jan. Youre still welcome to the pulley once we have it, if it's any better than the one you have

Rob,
Whats the latest with Paul's Funny Car Saga, i spoke to him towards the end of last year & sounded a complete nightmare

Sorry for interrupting original post

Yes Mark, he's had a rite 'mare with getting his funny car off the ground (not literally, i hope!

)
But last I heard, a couple of months ago, he says he should be out with it early this year, getting some runs under his belt

Just a bit of an update, Charger still in the body shop awaiting new windscreen. Just lately I've cleaned and painted a few more bits.
The rad shroud was broken when I got the Charger 17 years ago so I thought it was about time to repair it, all in all it didn't come out to bad.

Just a few more bits that have been done.

Andy is doing his magic on the front panel, there's lots more but I don't want to bore you with to many pics.

Hi Delboy,

I'm a bit emabarresed to say that I've thrown betta shrouds away than the one you repaired!

Anyways good to see oldskool repairs still being done, and not running up the old Credit-card with YEAR ONE!!!

Me and Mater(Mas) have splashed the 'Fiat Bronze' around the 67 Charger engine bay and she is looking SWEET!
I can see why you picked that colour, as its Gorgeous!

Mater will start his own thread on his 67 Charger and stop hijacking everyone else's Worshop threads LOL!

See you Resto guys in da Show-ring for an 'ENGINE-BAY' match-up!!!

Bacca and Mater(Mas).
