the c line resto

Mate, your keen, good on ya, I'm looking forward to the next instalment.

nothing to exciting going on at the moment just boring small stuff, bit of sanding, some metal fab work on the chassis. the springs are back and are looking much healther ccomplete with new pins and the wrong bushes >. the new tank brackets have been finished they where made 50mm shorter to go with the 50mm cab lift i will be doing. it looks like final chassis paint will be later next week. All rims have been sourced and will be here next week aswell here is a few pics not real exciting.

My Dodge cab has been lifted about the same to get the air filter under the bonnet. The D5N's the just hacked the bonnet out over the air filter and then put a scoop over it to hide it.

Mate, that new second rear cross-member, I wouldn't fully weld that in, maybe a stitch each side on to the web, but if you fully weld that into the flanges there is a good chance it will crack, it looks pretty ridgid.

I didn't think of that cam to late now just have to wait and see it should flex a bit its only thin sheet just put it there to tidy that back up and have a spot for the number plate

It'll be right, if it does crack it'll probobly only crack down one flange, I'd be amazed if it fell off. Looks neat, well done.

got a bit more done today we have sanded the diff and bolted it back up, finished the rear number plate section and put the new front pins and springs in im a bit worried about the angle of the shackles but when the weight comes back on hopefully everthing goes to plan feel fre to comment on anything as i need all the advice i can get

I guess It's going ot go on Club rego, 'cause if It's going on Full rego.
Than that rear number plate gadget is a bit borderline Legal
.As numberplate should be visible from a 45degree angle from above & both sides..

Not trying to be nit pickin' A'hole.

Just I've had several defects for this over the years.
Most recently in My ute.
With one of those driving light nudgebar brackets that mount on the Number Plate mounting holes!!

Yes club rego I do all the heavy vehicle inspections in the area and that rule did cross but I thought it looked tidy and I doubt I will get pulled up for it.

very nice work v8 inter nut .. the black etch prime work makes this whole rebuild look very cool

Well the $ are adding up now with paint supplys wheels and tyres and brakes but the show goes on! Took delivery of some nice new shiny parts today


As well as some old less shiney but just as important spare parts



Stay tuned the painter is booked in for Wednesday arvo to apply the final coats of 2pak gloss black to the chassis and maybe some colour on the spider hubs
