Orange County Pussies . .

 You reckon that father/son pair from Orange County Choppers have got a bit of 'go' in 'em, well they only throw chairs around the office and call each other names. Have a look at this pair working under the SS Impala, Junior (Andrew) has got a chunk the size of a fifty dollar note missing outta  the top of his head while the Old Man has got a black eye with scratches and bruises all over his left cheek and then he's also got skin and shit missing from the knuckles of one of his hands. Luckily they're only fitting the diff back into the Impala and aren't really taking things seriously!

Diff is sitting up in the huge tunnel and the lower trailing arms have fitted straight back into place, Andrew now has to make some mounts for the other couple of swing arms that come standard underneath the SS Impala and it will be time to weld in the new tubs.
BTW, I used a telephoto lens for these couple of pics, because there ain't no way on God's Green Earth that I'm crawling under that Impala with that pair!

Santa's Sleigh . . .

Have a look at this will ya? Dave's gone bloody mad and turned the Manx into Santa's Sleigh!
New hand-made side sectioning is now in place and he has stated fitting the new floors . . .

Johnny's Trike . . .

Fairly solid mounting system for the extra wide mud guards for the rear wheels. This mounting system had to be bloody rigid to hold such a large guard in place while the trike is bouncing all around the joint with Johnny at the head of the pack and roundin 'em all up . . .

Johnny was impressed with the quality of work but he remained fairly tight lipped when he was quizzed as to what else had been done to his steed. He muttered something about checking all phones at the office upon arrival and him re-issueing them at the end of shift. There was more than one bead of sweat making its way down his angry, furrowed brow I can tell you. I didn't bother asking any more questions . . .

SS Impala . . .

Before and after shots here folks and before we get to the 'befores' we need plenty of sparks. . . we love sparks!

 This is the metal work that has been finished welding and with a bit more grinding to come.

Finally with a bit of body deadener sprayed over the new panels for a bit of protection, we have the finished product. This is where the old chassis was cut out and brought in approx 400mm to allow for those monster 15inch drag slicks. . .

Manx . . .

 Well this thing is getting a helluva lota work thrown at it at the moment and it's starting to look really good too I must admit. This will be its running height with both wheels in place and body sitting on newly constructed chassis and outerside rails . . .

Forget the funny colors at the moment because the pics are being taken inside a large factory style shed and the lighting screws up the color balance of digital cameras and I haven't got the extra two hours tonight to reset all the pics. . .
This bright yellow thingie is a hand-made template of the 'flow' that the side panels will follow from the front guard, really cool and really classic lines of the old hot-rods. . .

HJ . . .

My man Dylan finishing off the roof for a broken down old fart like myself, good onya mate, proud of ya. We also found that the sea-weed discs work extremely well for removing the paint, surface rust and leaves a nicer finish than the wire wheels and fuck'n steel rulers, you can see the surface has a polished look where 'D' is working at the moment . . .

Brooke's Baby . . .

 Brooke's Baby, you're looking at a '12 Challenger and it's got the big 5.0 badge on it as well as a couple of other nice accessories, check out the stripe job and the black mags. . pure porn

First one in Oz to be treated to the RHD conversion and it is a little stiff in the steering according to Brooke and she should know being one of our exec's at Holden in Adelaide and her everyday driver is a thumpin' GTS. Grunt you ask? Brooke tells us that it's got more grunt than a Razorback banging the shit out of his favorite sow at Roxby Downs in the outback of SA, when the pedal goes to the metal you just wanna sit back and squeal. . .

Right hand drive conversion is superbly done and Brooke said that she would use the same mob in Melb anytime. The '012 Challenger's have the new steer by wire set-up and like I said a bit earlier it seems a little stiffer than a normal set-up . . .Thanks for giving us a peek Brooke and for dropping by and letting us check out your new ride . . .
