Bloody Brilliant ! Getting in and out will be a ritual with the knee knockers as low as they are .
True appreciation of this lies with those who have a vision and dared to be different themselves. Keep up the good work on your Mild FB .

15 inch Chrysler Charger wheels, the rear axle is a combination of 3 different f*rd models providing us with 4 wheel disk brakes with the same Chrysler stud pattern.

Some progress... We installed a new REBEL WIRE hotrod 21 circuit wiring loom, mounted the fuse panel under dash and made a new gland under the drivers side mudguard so will be hidden in the engine bay. Also fitted a VY commodore wagon 1600KG towbar, a little bit of rework was necessary and will bolt up to the bumper support as original, as well as bracing to the body forward of the fuel tank.

Serious Chrysler disk brakes front, Image
No need for a "Bare metal" re-spray, I think if the paint is still good after 50 years then why get rid of it, just blend the scratches with a bit of 360 wet and dry (wet), then Hi-build primer putty, its all grey now and looking good. Image
If in doubt..chop it.

Be interesting to see this beast finished ...
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Hi Guys, thanks for your interest, we will paint the standard FB yellow/white Colour scheme, yellow roof with white flash. We intend to enter the car in the 2016 Kustom nationals in Philip island in January. It will be unfinished but we will assemble what we have and make it as complete as possible, then trailer it to the site, you are all welcome to praise or scorn as you see fit. We welcome all comments as I realize it is fairly unusual. We fully intend to drive it to the 2017 nationals however. :helleyes: Graham
