FE Holden . . .

 Dave's been working fairly hard on this job and once again it's all the bloody little things that slow you right down. The old B&H gear selector has been removed and a period correct, ot hot-rod style, selector with digital read-out has been installed. Well it's half way done, Dave's been sooking and carrying on about how hard it is to get his big mitts into the tiny spaces, so Quicky is going to finish it on Thursday. Apart from that, the rest of the interior is ready for the trimmers. . .
The twin air cleaners just sneak a peak through the bonnet and it would be touch and go as to whether the cop would allow it on the day I suppose? Andrew has been working hard under the bonnet, removing all the colored anodizing on all the Speedflow fittings, they look a bit like a dog's breakfast with all the different colors connecting up the braided lines, so now with the anodizing removed it all looks like it's just polished alloy . . .
The custom bonnet emblem is another situation where the 'bling' seems to have been taken a bit too far? Fair dinkum, there is bloody bling on everything and it needs some serious trimming back. . .
