That's one hell of a shed you've got there Boxhead

Looks bigger than Shelby's original place at Venice.

Based upon your under car colour coding look's like you're going for viper blue with white stripes maybe?

Color will be holden devil yellow with semi gloss black stripes includeing the thin stripe on edges

Black side pipes, black quick jacks, black wheel centres, black roll hoop, black interior

A close second on color choice was yellow with blue stripes (not sure of the name but it is the same as Aussie Mikes ute) and chrome/polished everything ie bumpers, side pipes, roll bar.

The shed is actually where I work, the boss doesnt mind if I bring my car down, I had to do some welding and since I dont have a mig at home yet I took it to work.

It sure makes life good haveing so much room and bits and pieces when working on it.

It only takes half an hour to load it up and get it to work.

Looking great. Why did you round off the back corners on the chassis? Sick of knocking your knees? Is that genuine Alice springs bull dust on the temporary wheels?

The corners where rounded of after a suggestion by Phil Neal
when lifting the body on and off you get your fingers caught under
the corners, not anymore.

Yep that is genuine bulldust

I havent got my dash panel or pedals yet Mike, I will try to order them at the same time as the battery box that Phil is getting made is ready so I can ship all together.

I have sent you an email to your bigpond address, I dont know if you still use it but let me know if you get it or not
It is regarding your engine number

I don't use the big pond one any more as I got too much spam. I'll send you a PM with my current email address.

When are you looking at getting the bits shipped up? I can probably include your steering wheel boss in with it.

Cheers

Thanks Mike, but the other bits are comeing from Sydney so unless you know of a way to get it to Phil it is probably just as cost affective to post straight from Melbourne.
