Not a problem, let me know when you are back and I'll bob over one Sunday morning, I'll start to make a list! Thank you Jim.

Lots of people seem to be getting the firewall sand blasted. What sort of cost are we talking about?

Just dropped the bulk head off, $50 cash to bead blast and prime, should be ready Monday, so it will be dropped off at the HH's.

So what year is my engine, can't find that chassis number but don't think I'm looking in the right place! Read that its on the LHS rear chassis but can't see it!

I think that's 1961 mate.
cheers,

That's not a bad price at all. I'll have to have a look around here and see if I can match it, it'd be a real sod to do by hand.

When you investigate blasters make sure you ask them if they have experience in blasting car panels, if they heat the panel up too much there is a chance that the heat will twist the metal, that would be a nightmare!

Chassis number is on the LH side rear back spring hanger, facing out - on Australian built 2As. If it was built elsewhere, the number could be on the outside of the chassis, RH front, of somewhere else. It should also be on the plate on the bulkhead that shows transfer case operation, but this is unreliable and carries no legal status because the plate is just screwed on.

For all chassis positions, the surface may need wire brushing and possibly etching to show the number. And there is always the possibility that that part of the chassis has been replaced.
