Oh, that's cool.

See here in Australia...

We take four years of 1 day a week at TAFE, and the First two years is utter bullsh*t which is why so many people drop out - like I did.
Only after 4 years can you get a trade cert to allow you to run a business.
Same with Mechanical, electrical, etc.

I hate my country. :(

Weird they have a 1 day a week class. Seems like a way to drag it out!

[Auto Rod Technologies]

his class is 3 days,, 9am-12am,, It can make for a long day but you can absorb a lot in that time frame.

[AusMarty]

Yes.
But does it take four years, and you don't learn anything 'til 3/4 the way through?
lol.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

I'll take the 3 days.. lol.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Got the rear section pretty close this morning, then spent the rest of the day building some equipment.

Sweet looking car.

thanks!!! Are you're quarters shot too?? Couldn't find them anywhere,, decided this was the only option. lol.

and how I wish that car were here to get patterns off of.. I had to mud and glass up a quarter just to get a template.. I couldn't find anyone around here with one. these cars are hard to find.

original motor would have been one of the nailheads. which is a great motor and would be my choice. downside he would need a adapter to run anything besides a trans that came on a nailhead. there alot more expensive than bop adpater around 800 bucks. but with that he can run any chevy trans. i wouldnt waste the cash if i was him on a th400 and gv really. a built 700r4 or 2004r and the adapter would equal out in every way for cost power overdrive and would be cheaper on gas.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

I usually put 700R4's in them, I can't remember why he was thinking to go with the 400 and gear vendors.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

made a little more progress.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Took a little bit different approach on the other side.

This is the coolest looking car I have seen in a very long time - new desktop!

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Made inner wheel well patch today, wasn't sure how to make this one but I think it came out pretty good, especially for something that you will never see once the quarter panel is on.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

This was the previous repair!!


Start of new floor extension.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Starting to feel like things are finally starting to come together!!
Got both sides in epoxy today, getting close to putting the quarter panels on for good.
