Great start to the day. . .

 It's gotta be a good day at work when you pull up and this is the view that greets you at the front door! The boys custom cycles and just inside the roller door sits a phat little 'rat' ready to be slammed and chopped even harder. . .

This is the '54 Ford Pick-up that Dylan is working on. Yesterday it was a LHD piece of Yankie junk and today Dylan has the cabin looking like it was born to drive from the right hand seat. . .

Mixed bag. . .

 This is the twin power booster system that Dave was working on. It's now mounted neatly up under the dash and behind the glove box. Note also the hidden wiper system to the left of the power boosters. . .

 Out in the engine bay we now find the Wilwood  master cylinder as well as the start of extensive fire wall smoothing. The whole engine bay is to receive 'smoothing' work rather than new flat instalations. . .

 Now this is the cabin of the '54 Ford Pick-up that Dylan has been working on. As can be seen from the pic, the LHS steering set-up has been removed and the firewall smoothed, after the dash has been moved around, you won't know the difference. . .

Now back to Dave. Nigel's back from the USA and it's all stops out to finish the 'Gasser'.
Dave got the fitting of the extractors job, and you guessed it, one side fits and the other don't. . . Dave's in the middle of some serious cut'n'tuck here and within 15mins the offending pipes were in their new home. Yeah bullshit, the fucking things took about two hours to modify!

Meanwhile Dave keeps plodding along. . .

The creative genius at the back of the shed just keeps plodding along, meeting deadline after deadline. Dave hard at work designing and making final adjustments to a twin power booster brake system for a client's car. This all has to be hidden under the dash of the car along with the new line-locker, proportioning valve, new hidden wiper system and all the usual electronics that need to be out of sight but accessible. . .
BTW, Daves not scared of spiders.

Kazza's at it again. . .

 Hodgey's little sister is at the welding station again. There's no such thing as scrap metal when she's around. I can't believe the creative mind and tallented hands of this young lady. . .

This is one bad-arsed lookin vulture. . .

Update on the '54 F100. . .

 Dylan hard into the dismantling stage. Front and rear ends on the floor and the steering system about to follow. . .unfortunately for Dylan who's shit-scared of spiders, there was a dirty, fat, Huntsman who had taken up residence in one of the front control arms. we're still trying to coax Dylan out of the 'locked' toilets. . .

Work to be carried out on the old girl includes, Jag front end, Borg-Warner rear end, big Cleveland and an auto transmission. This long wheel based truck is going to turn into one fancy ride. . .

31 Ford Tudor. . .

 31 Ford Tudor in for major chassis modifications. . .

 Two little blocks of redwood being the exact height rquired for keeping the guards off the wheels. . .

 Airbags will allow running boards to rest on the ground. . .

 Funnily enough the major chassis mods must include interior changes that include mounting points for child's seating. . .family life catches up with everyone at some stage. . .

Modern front end with ventilated discs and tubular upper/lower control arms. . .

Honda into a Bobber. . .

 Honda K1-750/4 with hard tailing rear end delivered to the shed to be turned into a Bobber.

 First step is to remove all the plastic fairings and flashy bits. . .

getting down to tick tacks and it's time to get serious. . .

Bike is ready for cutting, this is Dave's favorite part of the exercise and he loves the look on the faces of the owners when he lets the sparks fly with cutting saws and grinding wheels. Trailing arms are looking a little 'floppy' at the moment.
