Christmas Rush. . .

 Anthony's 'Bobber' looking better all the time, now the paint has been removed from the tank and rear mud guard. . .

 This is where the big interest arises from now on, this 'Gasser' has to be driven out the door before christmas, oh it has to be finished too!
Front end has been removed for painting of the chassis and a bit ofradiator fabrication before final rebuild. . .

 Huge extractor systems are designed to go straight out the side guards and rearwards through the front outer guards. . .Big motor, BIG pipes!

 Driver's side is much the same as the other side except that Dave had to cut the extractors and re-route them to get them outside the inner guards, current design was waaay too short. . .

 Dave busily remaking some of the mounting plates for the Pick-up's cabin so that all the lines and curves are perfectly symmetrical when bolted up. . .

 

 

 Big Bad Johnny lifting the tub away from the Pick-up, Herculian strength needed for this job and Johnny does it with ease!

 As can be seen in this image because of the huge width of the outer guards, only very small mini-tubs are required to completely house the massive drag slicks. . .

LHS of the tub shows that only a 75mm cut-out was all that was necessary to take the tub frame across to the chassis making for some small tubs.

 

 

Golden oldie from a bi-gone era. . .

Nigel's Gasser is moving right along with its new tub and guards now in place and something for you oldies out there. . .a Balance Bar, used in the sixties to stop wheel spin. The old timers would fill it up with lead, steel, rocks, anything that they could find to add a bit of weight to the rear end to pull that arse down and get a bit of extra grip. . .

F100 Long-whheeled base. . .

Just a real quick update on the F100, the dash is all cut'n shut and the instrument cluster is in place, good work from the apprentice. . .

Anthony's Bobber. . .

 Hodgey spent all day Saturday catching up with some work on Anthony's Bobber. . .

Some people would think that you would have to be totally mad to cut up a Honda 750/4 that was in immaculate condition but the results speak for themselves. . .this is one helluva good looking cyccle. A couple of more minor time appropriate modifications and this Bobber will be ready to control the top of the heap. . .

The Gasser continues. . .

 The Gasser has received a new tub and checking the location of the tailights. . .

Moving right along see's the rear guard in place and checking fitment. . .

All the goodies from Rocket still have to find their way into the Gasser to bring it up to spec for drags and serious burn-out work. . .BTW kids keep an eye out for this beast at Summernats, it's already booked in. . .

Dad's Trike. . .

 Here it is fellas, A hot new project from the Big Fella. This new project has special meaning because Andrew is making this trike for his old man, John, to get around on during thr warmer months. Motor is the Holden 'Starfire' and auto removed from a Sunbird. First attempts at setting out the trike on a bike jig. . .

 Add some bars and a seat and put the diff in place and all of a sudden you've got the making of a trike. Just for those who are interested, the diff is straight out of a tubbed Hatchback and is a shortened 9inch with billet axels, it's also running about 15inch rims, wide that is!!!

Drop a tank in place and prop up the seat and things are looking better. for those with the sharp eyes, you will have noticed that the front forks have been broght back in by approx., 100mm.
The tank will also be split and lowered. . .

Kazza's at it again. . .

 Head hunters. . .

 I think this bloke got caught by the two nasty individuals above.
Fair dinkum, you be havin' funny dreams if ya hang these gizmo's on ya loungeroom wall. . .

This is two of the Three Wise Owls. Yeah I know it's supposed to be monkeys but some tool wanted owls, so whatever the tool wants, the tool gets!
