Hey guys, got one job out of the road..... got my seats mounted with the racecraft brackets. Kody and the boys to a super job of the bracketry!!!! It just bolts up and is easily adjustable, gives you plenty of headroom, leg room etc. I highly recomend them if your mounting a Kirkey race seat. After all a serious jouster, demands a great saddle!!! X2.
Car show was cool as usual..... but the same as usual. Pretty much the same cars each year!! But good to get out amongst it!!
I hope to get some more done this week... anyway catch ya.

Thanks man!!! I got the other wheel arch pieced back in, just got to do the final clean up and put the swage back in. Probably the worst part of the job if you asked me.... anyway it looks more factory like with it.
Thanks for looking, catch ya.

Ok... got my game plan again so the car is stripped again. I began to make my T- top cover yesterday....
Now double tacked and a trial fit for the last time before welding completly.
Outside done, just need to work the cuts abit, and clean things up. Then ill make my template for the windshield.
Good to get something done, i'll tackle the shoot lever next.
Anyway catch ya.

Hey fuel, it will just mary the two pieces being the windshield and the t top back together..... as im not going to run a windscreen seal, I makin my own windsheild out of mr10. So I didnt like the wind to beable to try and drive under the t tops into the now void so I have adapted a wind deflector if you like to get around this problem. Hope it makes sense!! Your new pipes must be just around the corner...... make sure you keep me posted. Thanks man.

What can I say.... WOW!!! That **** looks nasty as man!! That is some very nice work..... Are those the pipes your going to run???? Or just dyno pipes... either way they look very well made. What make are they?? They were worth waiting for i'm sure. Man thanks for sharing the pics... I cant wait to see the end result. 800 na doesnt look out of reach with the parts and money you have obviously pushed into the engine.... once again very nice!! Make sure you keep me in the loop, catch ya.

Ah KOOKS.... that explains the quality in the pipework!!! Not much happening here this week, my engine has been held up again..... more modifications to get the blower manifold to fit correctly!!! More machine work, more time... more money... anyway abit past it now I'm sure it will be worth waitng for!!
Hopefully I will get a chance to fire up the torch and get a couple of loose ends tidied up on my junk this week!!!
Work is busy at the moment... bring on Christmas so I can really get stuck in. Anyway catch ya.
