Smooth, Harko, J, Scotty, Mick, Nomad & Nathan thanks for the posts guys ..... it's keepin' the drive heading in the right direction!!

Well the underside is one paint process off finished!!! First recoat of deadner is done and the "topcoats" will go on Saturday arvo. While the deadner is drying out I will finish the last bits on the top side ...... the old seatbelt bolt holes, top seatbelt mounts, final check on dash/guages, fill holes in firewall etc.......


Was going to buy some 3/8" exhaust mounts and decided it would be a damn sight better to make them myself (and cheaper!).

These are the supports I made up to hold the Heat shields:

This shows one of the new brackets that hold the commodore handbrake cable, one of the heat shield brackets, seat belt bottom mounts and also the exhaust hanger (4 each side).

Image


This is the passenger side mount for the Rear outrigger of The LH Torana frontend:

Image


Finished top mounts for Coilover shocks, the small plate (near the middle) is the retainer for the brake Hardline to flex connection:

Image


Just a couple of overall shots of the underside:

enjoy :D :D :D :D
