No Blacky, it's on the blocks so we can get the last of the strip done then she will be bolted to the revolving cradle.......getting to old to bend over to much
must be something to do with all the crazy shit I used to do............I think Dad said it would catch up with me one day!!
I think he was right! BUGGER!

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

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.
cheers all!!

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
.
Its good to see lots of these old girls are getting new lives.
Keep the photos rolling.
Regards Greg
