Sundays end of week wrap-up

Got the call to go help with a forensic search on Macleay Island this week....we couldn't resist seeing how many we can cram in the back of a paddywagon!

Chassis is just about done, but I needed to duplicate where the drive-shaft goes...hence the home made galvo fence post fitted the job requirement! Also, I needed to install the body to frame webbing, to ensure dimensions for final body fit work out.

Here's a sight I haven't seen in a while, body about to be re-united with the frame.

Even the HEI distributor cleared, thanks to my cake-tin baking dish addition in the firewall...at this point, it's looking good again!

Ever tried to fit a 4 piece assembled hood on your own...it was like being on my first date...didn't know where to put my hand first...what to hold next... when to wriggle... but a few grunts and ten minutes later.......it sort of fitted where it should!!

Had to jack the radiator up a bit to get the swedge line somewhere near ok...but have a bit of a gap between the frame and hood side, so need to experiment with the shimming of the body during final assembly to get it a bit closer.

Just a reminder to be careful when driving....don't want accidents like these to happen.

 

All you Brissy followers know that we got hit with our first big storm in a while on Saturday...lots of cleaning up for people, probably might even get SES callouts today, so decided not to go to the QHRP swapmeet as planned. I do hope it is a success anyway, even though the weather today is not good...the QHRP need to be supported.
