It’s alive , engine back in the car and running . Sounds like a drag car , will be a shame to put the rest of the exhaust system on . Hopefully it’s posted so you can see something

Excellent milestone mate. :)

Not to try at all, is to guarantee it!

We are a little bit undecided as to which tyres to choose , price may be a factor if we can’t pick a winner . Red wall is just red electrical tape at the moment and is a little bit lighter than real tyre and the goodrich is photo shopped . What are your thoughts ?

Nice work Ratty. I like the red even tho white is more the era. I don't think the BFG letters suit, as, to me, it looks it into that 70"s-80's period.
With all the chrome and stainless fitted up it will look a treat.

I agree. But that's just one blokes opinion.... red stripes just don't look right to me. The rest of the car is bloody great!

Red tape is the best in my eyes.
Hope you use top quality tape cause I reckon the cheap shit will fly off.

There is a bloke in Ballarat who does painted walls, any colour you want. From what I hear they are fairly hard wearing, & can be touched up. Reckon the red looks good with the red interior.
