Taken the time you are busy with this project,i have a lot of time finishing mine[P[cl

No updates ,sorry. I've been busy with my other hobby,drifting. The car had quite a bit of damage the last time, and there were things to be improved,that takes time to fix. And on top of all I twisted my knee last week and it has now the shape of a scippyball. I hope it heals fast because the...

Here I am,whats the problem:cool:

Yes,it's a chassis from a LDV/Daf 400 British Leyland with a 2500 4 cil. turbo diesel engine. The front of the car and rear fenders are Opel Blitz and the cab is 50 something Chevy.

That is the '58 Opel Blitz from a buddy of mine,its not a panel but the backwall of the cab has been set two meters back and filled whit sheet metal The comments at the car show were very good,they liked it very much. It was the oldest car at the show:D

Last weekend I was at a big opel meeting,The "Dirty Six" had to sleep outside for two days . Nature has colored him beautifully during the night[cl

Thanks guys, I appreciate that very much. As I mentioned before, this is my first time I build a RatRod so it's all new to me.

Thanks, Snake Farm. This is all the result of years of watching people like you on forums like this. So it's nice to hear that the people who inspire me like it too. :cool:

almost got the paint of the doors. Grill and left front fender bolted on,and this is how i left her yesterday

I found some time to work on the Opel again. Support made for the grill and fenders. made an oldschool engine mount. transmission in it and made a support for it. Rear fenders mounted. The original steering rack will not fit because of the V8. Made a new steering column...

No, that was one of the main conditions of the project, an Chevy v8 There are many European engines to choose from,but what is a hotrod without a v8 They are pretty easy to find,not cheap but affordable

It is 6 years old rascal, but a great help

Thanks guys, removed the headlight mount. And i did some experimenting with black spraypaint,and it worded out very well. Put the engine in to see how it sits in the frame. And here the guy responsible that the engine is in place, my partner in crime, the operator of the chain hoist.

I now have three weeks off from work,so I can make some progress on de Six. I started with finishing the doors. Because i need to get parts for the doors,I started with welding shut the holes in the front fenders

Shorten the rear door. The seam between the doors is a little too big but I can adjust that i think.
