Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
nice work Neil, looks good! You're starting to work on the fun stuff now.FireKraka wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:05 am Not much done since last update just trying to do jobs while waiting for it to go to paint.
Started on front brake lines on Saturday and will try to get fuel lines etc. in soon
I would like to get tighter bends but dont want to kink the pipe either and I will have to make up a small clamp and clamp the 2 lines together.

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
Finished the rear brake line on the weekend and had to get the last of the rust repairs that I am doing completed.
Finally Frank is going to Keith's this Easter Saturday for resurrection
Keith (Body guy) will be doing the piece behind the window you can see in the photo and some mods before painting.
A bit of primer always makes things look better
And finally a bit of sound deadener in the cab

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
Hi Greg;
The paint guy says he has 3 months work on it but he is a retired guy and I assume he doesn't do 40 or 50 hour weeks anymore, I just have to be patient which is not one of my best attributes
I will have to find something to keep me occupied but that will have to wait for another story.
The brake booster and master came from evilbay, I couldn't figure out how to do a link for you so just type the heading into ebay and it should come up it was $275 + $37.90 postage.
BRAKE BOOSTER CHROME 7 " DUAL DIAPHRAM & 1" 1/8 BORE MASTER CYLINDER BALL MILLED
Regards
Neil

You'll need something to fill the empty space in the shed, Neil......
My lovely wife has bought me an early xmas present of course she wants it to be yard art but I just can't see it going to waste

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
I looked back at when I started this thread and saw that it was March 2015 so just over 3 years to this point.
I was also able to finish the brake lines and fuel lines.
Well the day finally came on Easter Saturday, Frank was was put back on its wheels for the first time (that I have had it) and left the shed to go and get final panel and paint.
Looks like I won't have Frank back before the Nationals but should be not long after and hopefully have him finished before Xmas.
The workshop is kinda lonely without him in there
