    He has done a fantastic job on the rear bulkhead, The fit and finish is factory quality. If I'm not mistaken the truck has been in LRM and was modified after someone rear ended him.

    Great photos Ian , would love to see more photos from Castle Hill if you have got them, as some of us are not lucky enough to get down there, (or should that read can't get permission to go ).

    Cheers Jeff

    I had a good excuse to go, Dad has been ill for the last 6 months but is starting to come good so I thought I would use the show as an excuse to go and see him and take him out for the day. Unfortunately the weather was crappy and dad didn't last too long before he went back to the car for a rest, so I didn't get too many more pic's. I'll have a look and post up anything else I have.

    Cheers Ian

    It's that Out Of Context thing Carolyn. Happens to me fairly often, much to my embarrassment.

    Matthew tried to get to my place on Saturday to bleed the brakes again but he was struck by a fuel delivery problem, so I took the tub off, stripped down the chassis and re painted it, sorry for the quality of the photo, I don't know if I moved the phone or the fumes got to me.

    " I got home on Saturday night after a night on the cards with Matt and SWMBO started to have a go at me for being so late. I said " Stop right there woman, pack your bags, your going to live with Matthew as I lost you in a card game" she said " How dare you lose me to him in something as trivial as a card game!!". I said "Yeah, it was really hard to fold with 4 aces!!"

    Hi All
    Cant believe it's been so long between drinks on Ralph, I have finished the chassis, primed and topcoated the bulhead and started to run the new wiring harness through the chassis and around the bulkhead, done the uni-joints and replaced the yoke sleeve boot on the front shaft, the next thing is to try and make heads and tails of the wiring harness to re-wire the dash and all the connections around the brake pedal switch area so I re-fit the engine. I did the brakes when I first started the rebuild back in what seems another life ago but I want to go over them again and I have noticed the clutch master cylinder is ted's brother as the pedal is only going 1/2 way down before stopping dead, so I will have to replace that and the slave cylinder so it's all fresh. Hopefully I will get some more time this weekend. Saturday is out as I FINALLY get my motorbike back from the panelbeaters after coming off 6 weeks ago and I have withdrawal symptons and have been roped into a 600km little trip, so Sunday looks like the day.

    Cheers Ian
