My Guard Gremlin doing it's job

 

Taken by a mate who is a pro photographer, hence the copyright.

No the tailshaft clearance isn't that tight.....other end is sitting on top of the diff snout.

 

Couple more of my Victoria, if anyone is interested.

 

I dig the wall of glass in your shop. truck's looking good too, despite the engine..lol. what suspension is that?

 

One full wall is Glass......33 ft long, makes a great final assembly area

Look again.......where is the distributor......it's a 351C with Cal Custom Rockers.

Mitsubishi L300 Van front end, very common swap in Rods over here.

 

He didn't do a close up of the clevo, but the tunnel ram features dual Impco 425 propane mixers.

Tank on the floor will be in the front of the bed.

Speaking of Beds, that is one of the repro 48-50 beds from down here, all feature lines and curved stake pockets....A$950....as I have mentioned before....they are a work of art.

 

Ok...I know I am supposed to be looking at the cool truck, but what is the creature in there? Its cute and you definately don't see those in rural Arkansas!

 

That's a possum, and he's just a baby. They may look cute but you find out otherwise if you try and play with them

How many would you like, sir.......Would you like fries with that.....

 

My bad, the color threw me off.

 

Looks like you know what your doing and doing a nice job. I think I know why you chose "Halfdone" LOL.... Keep up the good work. BTW.... Possums have sharp teeth!

 

Wrong again ....That's Massey Fergusson Red....MF red for short

90% of people that see it think it is an off make engine.....maybe the 454 and 350 under the bench and ch*v manifolds everywhere contribute to the illusion.

 

Yep.....way too much happening.

The F-1 was supposed to be a quick "shop truck" project, but my idiot mate stripped the patina off and then I got all carried away.

If you click on one of the photos it will take you to a gallery with 15 pages of pics from my other distraction.....the rod run I promote, which was on last weekend.

 

Halfdone ,looks great.
Are you planning on cutting a hole in the bonnet or does it just miss?
looks like you definately got the hang of primering and rubbing down.

 

Nice ride Halfdone.Also like the engine. I don't know about down under, but, up here the parts houses sell a Ford red paint for engines,I used to have mine painted that color.Keep up the good work and post all progress.

 

Progress ?????

You missunderstand....I'm called Halfdone for a reason

That's as done as it gets

Seriously....thanks for the comments, yes I am getting the hang of rubbing down, the scoop seems to just clear, I think and the red paint is because I am doing the truck flat washington blue with a cream engine bay and red just seemed to fit.......red and cream pin stripping on the hood, dash and tailgate and red and blue on the firewall should set it off.

I'm thinking red old world script on the doors "Halfdone" on my side and "position vacant" on the other
