Hi Zollis.
Great project, it's a credit to you to take on such a huge job from start to finish( I'm not that game)
Just a quick ? is that a early Holden front end(HR maybe or HT) or L300 you are using.
Cheers John

John--Front end is Holden 1967.

Brent + Will --Thank's for the encouragement.

Matt--- That is impressive with what looks like a huge budget. I am just an amateur all by myself on a thin shoestring.


Any how, after many hours of work or rather after being busy for quite a while I can show only what seems a little bit of progress.

Zollis,

This looks like a great project! I wish you the best of luck with it. I'm trying to do something slightly similar, but I'm having some trouble getting things started. I will be watching this with great interest.

You have picked a very nice project that will be interesting and instructive to build. The originals used some very nasty fuel mixes so your engine is a much better choice. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Steve, Frank and Kent , thank you for the kind words.

I have changed the rear suspension. First I cut off those leaf springs and replaced them with torsion bars. Reason being to look more like the originals.

The buck needs a bit of attention now, since the new steel brackets are in the way.

Very cool project and that buck is really nice also. Will you be doing any forming on the buck, such as front grille opening?
