'27 Willy's Salt Racer . . .


Rear drums are now fitted up and can now be removed for cleaning. Certainly a big job out of the way trying to fit tapered roller bearings into a squared shouldered cut-out. The drum set-up certainly looks more at home than the huge discs that were original fitment to the diff housing . . .

Side skirts running the full length of the car certainly add character and fit the build . . .


The front skirting that fits in and around the front end was masterfully created by Hodgey himself. After all the beding and cutting etc., her handed the skirt over to 'D' to fit the front control arm cur-out. . .

Cut out finished and control arm resting in place. Hodgey certainly did a great job of moulding metal and getting it to flow around the chassis . .

It's getting harder and harder to show you all the inticate work that is being moulded onto this car. Trouble is, this jig sits right outside Hodgey's office door and on the other side is one of the main work benches. Watch this space as the shed is about to increase in floor space to allow the seperation of jigs and hoists and workshop space so there will be plenty of new room to walk around the cars without climbing over benches and laying half under other projects at the same time . . .
