About Day 24..

The show goes on!!
Big day today..the pressure is on ....STILL..
Stuff goin left right and centre!
Imagine if the correct tanks were polished FIRST :-[ instead of about 40 fuel tanks...they'd be finished! :D
Between downtime on fuel tanks and gantrys...we could have done a Dash to Darwin! :D
I did hear the Ol Jimmy might....breathe fire tomorrow..
Something said about..if we fire it and its no good, at least with the cab still off, we can fit the Cummins... ;)

Cab Skirts..One side on..one to go..



Done!




Yes...you guess it...More fuel tank polishing! ::)




The steer wheels getting some shiny treatment.. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]




Cab rams fitted and being piped up..




The gearstick had more bends than the coast road..
It will be bent into the original shape to guarantee you squash your hand on the tunnel.. ::)




Finally got the correct blower... Thanks Ol mate!




Some correct manifolds now in stock..




Righto..the base color is done!




So is Ol mate Bruce by the look of that!

Not trying to state the obvious but not many days left ;). Keep with it guys as the end will sneak up really fast now that the prep work is down.
