Yeah I was planning on getting the headers ceramic coated.
I did see how you had relocated the handbrake pulley, I haven't actually checked that yet, was thinking about running a Lokar floor handbrake but haven't worked that out yet.
The bloody Holden V made it harder to make the log headers because of the angle but we got there in the end.

The gauges were $980.00 with the Km/hr conversion and they are programmable and have speed sensor.

Yeah i wasn't too fussed on the Saturn discs myself but have put simmons on for time being and I have another set of wheels I'm gunna try later on.

Thanks SC00BB

Got some more done this weekend.

Fitted up log headers after being welded and ground smooth.





Cutting bracing for radiator and trial fitting.







I love the smell of Nicky in the morning (sorry just had to put that in) Nickied up fuel filler and sanding to smooth.





Had an issue with clearance for the alternator, nothing a grinder can't fix.







Thermos mounted.

Love the smell of a grind in the mornin
The engine bay looks tidy , Have you taken any pics with the simmons on ? I can vaguely recall seeing a pic of an FB with polishedB45s would that be it.

The radiator looks like a neat fit, are you going to fill the alternator hole or leave it? Trev .

Go back one page and you'll see the simmons.

Thought I'd leave the hole for air cooling the alternator.

No will be plating it.

Nice progress SC00BBs, not far now! Keep up the good work

Awesome progress. What a good way to spend the true Australia day weekend.

That radiator setup looks excellent!

I will hopefully do similar when my turbo motor is installed in a few months

Here you go steved57 some pics of the brake setup on my car.

Firstly some spacers made up for the steering arms to clear the calipers.







Then grind a flat section on the caliper bracket to get it to fit flush with the Stub axles.













and that's it.

Lookin good mate, all coming together. cant wait to see it in the flesh
