Right ho, only just managed to get back online, my boy thought it'd be cool and unplug the phone line

Ok the build is moving along nicely, all the arms and shocks are located and mounted, the firewall is the looking great, the single swage line around the trans, across the top and back to the trans on the other side was ambitious, usually a couple of single short lines to stiffen the panel will do

very happy with that.
This month the rest of the floor, the rear section plus tunnel will be remove-able to make live easier when the GV overdrive goes in, i've ask Jimmy to mount the grille headlights indicators, just to see cos thats about it for the outside of the car, except for paint

Roll on next month

Ok these are the next lot of pics, i know the board has been a bit quite lately, but here goes,
The floor is in the finally throws of being finished, there is also under floor bracing that holds the prop shaft loop, (sorry pics of all that will be next time) The trans tunnel is as close to the box as it can get, the other side has lumps and bumps as it follows the contours of the box (no pics of that either) the trans tunnel it self will be removable, the G/Vender unit is going have to wait, money and work is drying up right before Christmas, so i might have to stop the build in Jan and wait

I've included a picture of the dash pod, the clocks are old truck gauge's the pod came from Mr Cannonball's stall two Nats ago

Coming along nicely, I thought I recognised the dash pod!

Blown all the swage line's are done in house

The pod was a spur of the moment thing, as soon as i saw it, that was it, i'd already bought two other dash pods , not sure what i was going to do/how it was going to look kinda thing.
The reverse light will become the shift light, Blue donated an early sun rev counter that will complete the set,

Thanks Mr challenger, i'm not keen on that look as well, they need to be on a car that has that theme right through the car, cool if they get it right.
A couple more pics for you chaps to have a gander at, Mr cannonball might recognise his hand writing, the early speed king bass pedal, is an old drummers favourite, i'll be using it for the gas pedal
