you are making me want to stop working on my truck and start working on my morris van again :)

wow! nice kit! is yours a 1275? if you haven't made 100hp with that then some bottom end work and a smaller pulley should do it :)

what motor is that? looks like a holden 202...

Don: the workmanship on those frames is beautifull, a little off topic, but that is sexy! how do you bend those arches like that? or do you buy them like that? LFE: I think that is pretty much what I'm going to do (not the sagging, the bracing) I have been talking to some mates and I'm thinking...

damn, sucks to be in America... over here, possession is literally 9/10ths of the law. If I buy a car without papers, for under $5000 (I think) and without rego. then its mine to do what I want with. If the "owner" wants it back, they need to have filed a police report when it went missing. And...

and the doors dont close and one is hanging off where the hinges should be :)

Don: I love that truck, when will I see more progress pics of it? it looks like you used the wheels on that T bucket??? My floor is non existent, although I think it was a wooden floor and the wood is gone. in the corners there is some swiss cheese looking floor, and the bracing is all there...

I want to brace the cab of my truck before I take it off the chassis so it all stays square. I also don't want to go cutting out my bracing and welding in all new stuff when it comes time for sectioning, chopping and channeling. I understand I wont really be able to brace it once and get it all...

I figured I'd just chop off the guards what hits the ground and what chassis is exposed then channel the cab to suit :) crazy man with angle grinder!!! I have to get it sitting low, real low, otherwise I wont be happy enough with it to keep it

ok, I was worried that those massive guards with the huge rims they were covering might look ****ty with smaller car tires under it, so I chucked a guard over a 15" Commodore rim I had laying around and I think thats about the height I want too :) that way my guards will bend every time I go...

work was flooded today, which is funny, because I got sun burnt picking the truck up yesterday. Our workshop was under 2" of water, we had no power which means no hoists, air or light so no cars can be worked on. After getting the water out and pulling a few cars out of puddles with a customers...

rustywrench: I had one like that a while ago too, but it was a little later, with 4 doors and probably not as much power :) it was a HJ Monaro with a fairly mild 308, looked the bit tho :) that one is a HQ (I think from the side...) and looks like it had some balls... looks cool :) did you drive...

I brought the Bedford home today. The diff is seized so getting it off the truck proved to be a good challenge, and getting it into the car port was even more fun with 4 flat tires! But thats half the fun. I have been talking to some mostly unhelpful Bedford people about identifying the truck...

That looks brilliant! I love the chassis. Keep up the good work!

oh... it ran out... Thats some good **** there bonehead. I can see my truck being built somewhat the same way with the bit here, bit there kinda thing... and your truck is a lot of inspiration for mine too. I love your pipes :) keep it up, I'm really enjoying seeing how you put it all together.

tough! cant wait to see it with the cab!

really nice instruments!

some people spend so much time and money making something look sooo bad

I dont understand the height at the front...

Hey Bonehead, your living the dream :) as everyone has said... mad story! I'm not going to sleep too well tonight :rolleyes: Take care of your back man, you only get one. I hope you feel better soon. although, in this time when your unable to lift/push/strain etc... you can still hold a camera...
