I hope you arent going to get underneath that thing while it is sitting on those besserblocks- I have seen them collapse without any warning !! :shock:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

V8EK, if you get those wheels under your EK, it will look f$%&n awsome. Can't wait till you get that one finished. It will give us all another interest as Mals is nearing completion.

All the Best John :wink:

Hi all,
Thanks for the support and comments!! I have the original inner section of the guards back in place, want to make it look "original" when the boots open "but with a twist"!!

2 speed powerglide has arrived, rated to 800hp, full manual valve body and a trans brake.......just need to get the EK finished and save up for the 350!!

110mm gap to fill.

V8EK4us,
Great work mate! I wish I could tub my car as well but in NSW no go for rego if you move the chassis rails. Also 327 is the biggest motor we can use :evil: :evil: :evil: .
Its good to see lots of these old girls are getting new lives.

Keep the photos rolling.

Regards Greg
So many cars so little time!
