the c line resto

things been a bit quiet here but some shiney new parts turned up today . "time to fit the mudgaurds" (there are some words i never want to hear again). this part of the rebuild has caused the most swearing by far but 2 hrs later and 1 (yes 1) is on still have to fit the mud flap but here is a couple of pics. to everyone that has yet to do this note the very accurate way of spaceing it out





final adjustment is yet to be made so no knocking me yet actually no picking on the mudgaurds at all

Good on ya Andy..
Pritty simple job.....NOT!..

Sometimes it can be a real pain as there is always something where that bracket needs to be..
And what about using little timber blocks as spacers, forgetting they are under there and backing out for the piccys and crunching the guards when the blocks get caught on the support brackets!

A word of advice.....
Take them off now....move them to a safe house until the whole job is finished!
Or someone is goin to use them as a bench, if even only to rest a fizzy drink on...it will end in tears

keep on truckin

Thanks chocs! We did mention that tonight once the mud flaps are on they will go to my other shed out of harms way. Sounds like the blocks of wood won round 1 with you before . And your right about them damm brackets, every which way you went to mount them there was a rivet or spring in the way, any way they should be sorted by tomorrow

The other way to look at yours swishy is that you have gone to a lot of trouble to hide the mounting brackets!

Swishy stop using bolts Cable ties are cheaper and quicker and that should the scrooge in you and easier to undo and tighten up

Looking good there V8. Would not be game to knock you on the guards. Buggar of a job to fit them up! Might have to get me self some new sunnies though, when I see her in the flesh, with all that nice chrome bits.

Well done mate! good job [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

...fair dinkum fellas .. when it comes to the prime mover i'd be happy with NO drive guards...NO mudflaps and NO tail lights to get bashed from general wear and tear, knocked by the forkie, or ...especially in the old days..a bloody blowout from a rotten old rag tyre retread that had done too many miles....

...aaahh for the good old days......

day two of the mudgaurds and they are all fitted up with the international mud flaps, i was going to use cummins ones but i figure that when the gm blokes here me overtake them they will know what shes packing by that mighty v8 roar!!!



move on to the rear lights next, got something noice up my sleeve there to
