I just noticed the cracked windscreen after I jacked the car up on the drivers side front, normally I go up in the K frame centre. I mentioned to a friend who does high end windscreens and he told me that Ferrari will crack a windscreen the same way. We have a very stiff car with ladder chassis, so ...

Thanks Blacky, we have learnt a lot along the way.

Hello all. It has been a long time between reports, we are ready for the visit to the engineer early next year. We have a pre inspection list to work through, we think it's OK but depends on the engineer how we progress from here. Chrysler 360 runs sweetly and the torqueflite gearbox has been overha...

Thanks for the eBay tip. They have the same problem as mine with missing pins. I need to figure out how to return the missing pins

Hello All, can someone te3ll me where we can get the H O L D E N badges for the bonnet? Rare spares sell some things but not all. I have some that I can re-use, guess everyone has the same problem.

rear station wagon glass. I have laid the new metal template over the original glass. Even though the wraparound part of the glass is at a different angle due to the chop. it lays on the old glass at an angle. There seems to be enough glass to be cut. I am thinking of trying a water cut place to see...

It's also not a matter making the windows smaller (vertically). They are a different shape because the pillar is on more of an angle. first choice is plastic product, but we will see what happens. stay tuned.

Thanks for the feedback on the use of plastic windows at the rear. I will run it past the engineer and see what we can do, not done yet. There is always the option to make a steel window and call it a panel van :(. I hope it doesn't come to that. I priced the manufacture of custom glass and looking ...

OK good one. it's changed since last time here...

how do we do pics now.
the usual method of with the link in the middle isn't working anymore.. is there a trick?

Thanks Harv, that's really good info and I will investigate that. On the plus side we do not have to do windscreen and the rear is reasonably simple... but we will see. Re engineer, since we have taken so long with the build, our original engineer is no longer available, now we have to jump camps to...

Yeah, I know its been a while, but we have lost a good mate. We are starting to get back on track, this is what we are up to now. The difficulty now is making rear station wagon windows two sides and rear window, they are a different shape. Glass is a problem and expensive. We have made up a metal m...

now that painting done, we can assemble and it sure is good to be adding rather than subtracting... PS re the seat-belt holes in the B pillar, yes that was an oversight in the early days, too many other things going on. too late to do anything now, so its a salute to the old days. http://mildfb.com/...
