An update,,,,with pictures.... Clambered underneath her to mark out the floor mounts, and found the floor didn't follow the chassis properly, dammit. so chop chop Remember its done with gasless Mig so it looks horrid. Heres the plates that the body will sit on pushed her outside, pics with...

Well the templates have been made and I'm waiting for the Ol' Boy to come into town. Hes gonna cut em out with the plasma cutter, which is at his workshop. I've cut 6 70x70mm squares out of the conveyor belt. Next time I'm off on a work gambit in town I'll see if I can get some 2" panel washers...

Hello all!!! No I have not given up on the car!! In fact just about to get back into it after a rather stressful 6 or so months. Basically I've chucked in my assistant managers position at the tyre shop after much deliberation, wasn't good for my health, time with my family had become a distant...

I'm at a loss as to what to build my body mounts out of, I thought tyre sidewall might be a go, but no, it's not a uniform thickness. Our rule book says it has to be rubber mounted. I've lost the original mitsi ones in the move and my brother buying our parents house. It's gotta be cheap, or...

That would be a $8000NZ starting point. I tell ya, you don't know how good you got it.

Top work dude. Wish I had that kinda motorvation

I'd call that a radial engine, not a rotary. Mr Felix Wankel invented what I call a rotary ie NSU Ro80 and Mazda rotary. They've been put into everything from motorcycles to chainsaws. Yes I have owned quite a few.....

She made it home safe, thanks Bob. Yesterdays tally for bent wheels was 17 with only one tyre salvageable. Sales were good....

Devastated. Water 2" deep flowing thru garage, all my power tools/welder/ goodies are safe at least. My sheet panel steel got mad patina as they're on the floor submerged under the Buick. And girls trampoline is toasted, got blown OVER a 7 ft high shed and slap bang into the neighbours house...

No pics to add, ( I'm too young and yuck english/jap turbos won't interest y'all) but awesome thread! Will be watching with interest

You and me both. I honestly didn't think I was going to get back into it. Just need to get over this 'flu and do some more

Holy thread dredge Batman!!!! I've got back into the old girl, put the side drafts on for a look. They foul on the headers (number6) but gave me a general idea how they look. And that is awesome! I've sectioned the Model A rear and attached it, temporarily, again for a look. They next...
