Thanks men... i sat this aside for a week to make a start on the truck, but tonight i got back on to it. I made some coil over shocks, and made a hand brake cable for the first time too..  |

Nice work sir.
What did you use for the cable?
Just wondering, because I was just at the music store buying some guitar strings to make antennas, brake lines, etc., for a future super detailed build.

Les, Dennis, Mark, thanks guys. Mark, i used a thin wire i got from the local hardware store, nice and thin and easy to bend, and holds that shape, some stuff wants to spring back too much. |

Very nice work on that chassis Dale. Really like the brake lines AND the coil overs. Top notch stuff.

Cheers guys, thanks  Finally sort of happy with the interior, did some flocking and ran some thread to break it up a bit without going over the top .   |

This car is progressing nicely.

Thank you Mark, and thanks for following guys, this one is a bit drawn out for me... 6 weeks so far..  I have finally got the interior together tonight, only a few scratch built bits to go and then paint.   |

Looks great, a little more subdued than I was expecting! Thanks mate, i don't want to take away from the real project on this one... the ENGINE, yet i still want to keep a little bit of subtleness about it all too.. |

Base cote is down, GINGER ALE, and some MARTINI GREY... just to tone the bling down a bit.  |

Thanks guys, this has been bugging me for weeks, it sat too high in the front compared to the rear, and the tyre had too much "wall", didn't look right, so tonight i changed out 5 sets of tyres, and i think i nailed it with our re-building the front end.  |

yup, you nailed it.
