Something new I’ve been working. 32 roadster style dash for 28/29 roadster. This is the first one which needs some work in lower corners. I’ll work out ways to get them perfect. Next will be a dash to suit auburn style gauge insert. I can make more if there is interest.

This week I’ve been working on my own project. Getting closer. Body mounted on chassis, various thickness body shims done and doors aligned. Final finishing on doors to be done, but there close. Steering connection done using using modified Holden collapsible column and after market universals including double D shaft. Radiator mounted, made some slightly shorter radiator stay rods. After market radiator. Gapped bonnet. 321/4 inch at the top, then move everything around until it fits. Handy to have spare bonnet sides. Rear wheels fit nicely in guard opening. 28” tall are in pic, but going to use 29” at least

Another new project on the go. I needed a short water pump kit for my 32 coupe. Well, the’re no longer being made. So with help from another rodder Graham Harris, kits are being put together. Aluminium plates to mount on to Ford Windsor timing covers are nearing completion. A 6cyl Holden water pump is used, but needs minor modifications. Crank pulleys will also be available to suit.
Once kits are completed, they will be available for sale. Pricing to be finalised.
