Voodoo or Voodon't . . .

The boys checking out the final touches on the front end of Arties big behemoth. After a quick discussion, they've decided not to do any more work on it until Artie gets back from his holidays, after all 3months away and the car won't even remember him. . .

Great News Fellow Bloggers. . .

The good news is that the big fella has gotten through the surgery successfully and is now on the long road to recovery, it was great to hear his voice on the phone.
Now as you would obviously realise, not all things run smoothly and in this case there were a few hiccups also. Firstly the Hospital now has 3 female nursing staff off on sick-leave, all with abdominal hernias from trying to roll the big beast from trolley to operating table and back again.
Now because of the delicate nature/location of the operation, there was a certain amount of manscaping to be undertaken before the surgeon was able to locate the general area and begin prodding and poking. Now this 'small' briar patch could only be described as unkempt and overgrown and there was no posibility of anything short of a McCulloch chain saw required to get the area trimmed back. After about 15minutes of heavy manscaping the male orderly started to giggle and when asked as to why he promptly pointed and stated that he had found a little red-headed toad stool growing in amongst the undergrowth.
After such a successful result, you could be forgiven for thinking that everyone would be full of happiness and good cheer? But there is one individual who isn't quite so excited by the result, because now he will have to pay his bill. . .Hahahaha pay up Gazza!

Good Luck and Best Wishes . . .

Good luck and best wishes to the big fella for his operation tomorrow. The big fella has been keeping things pretty low key lately but he is in for some serious treatment from some serious quacks and it's going to be a long and difficult recovery, made worse, obviously by a naughty patient who is always inpatient, so we'll see what comes out the other end. Stand tall and be a good boy big fella . . .

'34 Ford Pick-up . . .

 '34 Pick-up in for a major re-shuffle. When it arrived it came with a Mustang II front end, V6 and Buick auto. Down back was a 9inch with an ugly US styled ladder bar fitted.

 The plan for the pick-up is a standard front cross member with drop axle and wish bone with a very angry Flat-top motor mounted up front. Word is that it's likely to be super-charged as well. Down the back, the 9inch diff housing will be retained but instead of the ugly old ladder bar system a brand new Pete and Jake's ladder bar kit wll be mounted up and ready to burn rubber.

Rear tub is already off and Andrew and Dylan have done some prep work for the suspension mods. A quick look down the front and you can see that Dylan has worked his skinny little arse off removing the old front end. . .the saga continues!

Close up of the front end as it's being installed after the rear end rails/chassis had been remade and strengthened. This is the classiest front end assembly that I have seen out of the States!

Voodoo . . .

Twin system has been modified to accept the twin engine pipes instead of the old single system. Dave at his best again. . .
