'55 Mercury . . .

As you remember this is how we left the Mercury the other night, tubs in and waiting on some more sheetmetal . . .

The big fella working hard in the small space to pull the sheet metal down hard into place across the new diff and suspension set-up . . .

Pulled down and tacked in place, the new boot section looks good and carries on over to just under where the rear seat will be sitting. Starting to look like a car again, AND if you look really hard you can see the new brake assembly under the LHS of the dash. Dickhead photographer didn't get a pick of this new assembly, but I will because it's a huge beast and a cracking bit of machinery . . .

Nice ride . . .

How cool is this Stealth Ride? Ten months of money and modification and this is the result.
Harley 'Sporter' with an 880 motor and heavily modified suspension and exhaust system has resulted in one of the nicest bikes that I've seen in a long, long time . . .

New Work Ute . . .

 This work ute is turning out to be one rad little ride, it's like a Morris Minor on steroids. Hodgey and Dylan have been working flat out on the tray section, or is it a tubbed tub, who knows, we'll have to keep watching. . .

She's certainly flowing with the graceful lines and The Stylemaster, Mr Hodges, is certainly getting the little rod looking mean and clean . . .

'55 Mercury . . .

 Driver's side tub ground up and painted. . .

 Shit hold on, this thing is left hand drive, so that makes this the driver's side, anyway who gives a shit? Driver's side tub groung up and painted . . .

Both tubs have been fitted and welded and then hodgey has taken the time to fine grind them to a near mirror finish and then sprayed them with a quick coat of quality etch primer so that n surface rust can start and end up getting in under the paint work. Quality job on a massive set of tubs . . .

Look who 'Bobbed' up . . .

Yami Bobber that we did is back in for a quick fix on the clutch system. Bike looks good with a bit of sign writing, still waiting on the white walls though?

FE Holden . . .

 The old FE sitting out in the sun for a bit of a warm up before being shipped off to Griff's Upholstery shop . . .

No sooner was these two gone and Hodgey was sneaking a couple more in the door. Geez there's more work in there than you can point ten bloody sticks at, as well as my HJ Prem that I've been sneaking a few parts on to and throwing a couple of cans of rattle can black at the steering column and intermediate shaft. If I get caught playing around I'll get bloody shafted all right, size 11 steel cap right up the arse. . .

VW Manx . . .

Sorry folks, I was a bit slow with the camera on this occasion but the big fella finally got his mitts on the tilt tray and took the Manx out to Trev's bush retreat for a beautician's make-over. Let's be fair, it needs a bit of TLC and Trev being out in the middle of the bush with all his herbs and minerals, the old Manx will be back in no time, looking a million dollars . . .
