A New Project - 1927 Graham Brothers with the Fast 4 engine

Bloody ripper!

DLineinter,
What an amazing job you are doing! Fancy finding the wooden body in that condition. It must date from the 1920's or 1930's. Can you find one for me?

Your work with recycled timber on the cab is amazing. I would not even know where to start on a job like that. I have no cab parts at all, just a scuttle. I have no idea how to go about building a cab but I know mine should have an enclosed cab with full-size doors.

Do you know where I can get a rust-free (or as rust free as possible) cab for a D Line or a C line? or even a whole prime-mover? (for another restoration)

Morris.

Looks Good, Real good there Dline..
Get it to run & leave It alone, I reckon..

Jesus!
"We're restoring this truck - all we started with was this wheel and we went from there"

Way to go taking on such a big task there!

OK, time for an update.

Many other tasks have got in the way since my last post, however, last weekend the GB burst into life and the engine now runs!

Also found another truck that had been cut down for use a farm trailer and only 25km away from home - BIG win!

Enjoy.

Great work! A mate of mine has just bought a fast four tourer thats been cut down to a buck board pickup, apparently comes with a heap of spares.
He will pick it up this weekend from goulburn way. Any bits you need?

Cheers, scratcha

Thanks for the offer Scratcha, but I think I have enough bits to make it mobile now, but I'll keep it in mind.

I have found there a lot of repro parts for early Dodges available and I have had to resort to replacing decayed diecast parts with new castings that are available from a mob in Queensland.

Thanks
Jim
