Hey Nassi, you will need a megasquirt with all that thinking juice.

When the beer works, I don't. Plenty of megasquirts though.

Good to see an update - even if it is to confirm the pipes are working as expected.

Another panel ready for rust repairs and panel beating..Image

Such a pathetic effort, I am going to grow old (older), doing this thing.
Anyway this is the passenger door, the one with the lock hole which had me wondering way back. Needs a bit of work but will repair OK.
Also made a start on stripping the hood, it is in a pretty rough condition and has had many repairs in the past. Some oil canning so I will ask the other old bloke about shrinking when the time comes.

nah mate, went in there the other day coz the Caddy indicators were playing up after sitting in the rain last week. Been using it alot lately as the second car. Pulled off the suspect front indicator lens cleaned up socket, decided to make a new gasket to stop the lens rattling and taking in water. Tightened it up walked away and CRRRRACK!!!!! $180 and one week later i have 2 new genuine front indicator lenses from the US with no gaskets. I dont want to go in there again. ?

Cab came back off today ready for work underneath. I need to pull the motor and gearbox tomorrow so as to get the chassis outside to give room for the work required.

Nassi, to give room, really? The other half of the shed is empty, how much more room do you need?

BTW, I noticed you using gal chain (!) to hang those panels. They must have built those sucker tough and heavy back then. Don't you have any trees in the yard you could use? Such a waste to use the roof truss.
