J,
Yr EK is looking real nice. Have you thought about some flappers for the wheels at all? Would look real nice, just a thought, you may not like them. Keep up the good work!!

cheers man, I was thinkin thin whites...

nice job J, will be an interesting change for non FB-EK lovers to pick which is what i love to see (and do!)!,

hows the boot coming along?

any plans to cover the corners where the board joins? you might be able to make a little profile wedge or something....just a thought...still looks good mate

Cheers
NoMAD

thanks nomad,
plans are with the boot is to just upholster it, I kind of like the box look of it all. I just need to make little pieces to cover that top gap you can kind of see in the pictures.

I just have to tidy it up for the hot rod show in a few weeks, trying to get this grille done!

I took my numberplate bullets and filled in the holes on the bumper, then I ran out of bolts for the rear numberplate so thats in the rear window

Very neat trick, should keep quite a few guessing!! Now come where's this grill?

in the process of being made, but the dude is in africa so i might send him an email and get someone else to help me out

If you drill some holes at each corner of the "little square" ie the door, say 12mm, enough to fit a jigsaw blade in, then you can cut out the little square inside the big square.

That's if you really want doors...
Hope this helps


Jon

paro, you are officially the smartest man alive!
your right up there with the dude in the wheel chair with that computer voice

thankyou!

yes i want doors on it, might get some shiney door knobs too

If you want to save the smaller square to use as a flush fitting door, use a drill bit a little larger than your hacksaw blade. Drill a row of 3 to 4 holes along the cut line, then work the drill carefully to connect the holes, this should make a slot large enough to get jigsaw in.
If you get it right, you can use both pieces of timber, rather than having to cut a separate door.

Well J, I think you are back to school today. Just wanted to say that you made great holiday progress, and I can't wait to see the boot done. Want to do mine next?

I can help you not make the same mistakes I did haha, and you can use my boot to shape/cut etc.

Anyway I have some other updates, Tool a trip out to Armadale for some small items, was tossing up getting new headlights, dont know why i didnt?


where'd the bullets go?


i think the flat ones are better, makes the change less noticable


nice door lock pins


crooked chrome surround for gauges (crookedness fixed now)

before


after


Not all turned out this good, so I went ahead and painted them to match the new carpet which is coming soon.
