'55 Mercury . . .

 Hand made from three pieces of sheetmetal by Dylan and he's done an outstanding job. This is the control console for the air-con unit.

This is a pic of the console mounted up under the dash and also shows the big square mounting box for the full screen nav, video and entertainment unit by Pioneer. . .

Phil's 'Country Sedan' . . .

 This is the finished tow-bar fit-out by Dave. This is the second one that Dave has done for Phil and as a result, Phil is sending more cars up for the same fit-out. . .

 Just a couple of outdoor pics so that you can get a proper look at this beautiful cruising machine.

After carefully telling you all about Hodgey's hard work making up my tail-shaft, a job that nearly killed him I might add, I forgot to show you the finished product; Sexy isn't it?

Bert's Drifter . . .

 Rear tail-gate on Bert's Drifter is really starting to take shape, it's seen here sitting in place to check gaps and hinge placement . . .

 Inside of the tail-gate and you can see the amount of metalwork and welding required to get this thing into the right shape to fill the hole. As it sits right now, it's only about a quarter way completed with plenty more work to be done before it's mounted for the final time . ..

Outside profile and you can see the amount of small 'spot' welds that are required to hold all the sheet metal to the frame . . .

 New front tyres finally added to the blackened GTS rims with chrome centre cap. These things will look fully sick when the car gets to sit down low over the rims with its new paint job. Paint scheme is really going to 'make' this car . . .

New tail-shaft needed to be made up because the old one came from a four speed(M21) and 10bolt combination. Now we have Turbo 350 and Ford EL Borg Warner diff centre. Andrew got stuck into it this morning and used the original shaft tubing, cut to length, Ford coupling from an XH panel van and the front yolk that was sitting in a box full of second hand yolks gathered up over the years. After I ground all the surface areas back to bare metal, I then applied 3 coats of flat black enamel and she's all set to get mounted into position sooner or later. . .

'55 Ford "Country Sedan" . . .

 Big Phil asks Hodgey about a new tow bar for his '55 Ford Country sedan, how they get a sedan from this body shape is beyond me but that's its title and it even has the badges on the rear quarter panel to prove it. Long story short, Hodgey says yes to the towbar and Phil is wrapt in Dave's work so he brings in another one for the same work. . .

 Not sure if the second one is also a '55 or whether it is a '56, doesn't really matter. . .

 Beautiful clean lines and very tidy inside, this car is a regular on the road. ..

How's that for an enginebay on a car that is approaching its 60th birthday? Dave's well and truly into this fitment and should be nearly finished by now . ..

Ranchero . . .

The old Ranchero is looking really good at the moment with newly made flooring in the back tray of the ute. The old stuff was that bad that a metal fabrication company was comissioned to roll up some new sheeting with the correct profile and it matches perfectly.

The cabin has new flooring and rear wall section all welded in and ready to go. The ute is now off to the sandblasters to get the cabin and engine bays sandblasted ready for painting. Once the front sprngs are back she will be able to roll/steer up onto the tow truck without the necessity of any heavy lifting . . .
