Mmmm, stainless... You did not say it too many times Craig...

Pre-bent is cool too.

Did you say the comprehensive kit comes with a free hoist??

If only I could get some Bruce Springsteen tickets I would be heading back up that way Craig! Bloody things sold out in 1 minute flat!!

Nice try. Free use of a hoist.

You just need to get your deposit in soon to lock in current pricing and to get the kit when you want it. You know you want to.

No Bruce, that's a bummer.

First the new kitchen to keep the ball n chain happy!

Then someone buys this so I can fund the garage... Used KAWASAKI Ninja 1000 ABS Motorcycles For Sale - bikesales.com.au

Then we will talk Craig...

The old kitchen gets pulled out next week... Baby steps....

Default Tuesdays Progress



Engine Flywheel all Torqued up



Pedal Box all Marked out will be finished on friday



Fuel & Brake lines finished Under the car



Rear Brake Lines also Finished



Starting to look like a COBRA



Side Vents and Side Pipes holes are all finished

The Jig Saw is coming together I am really pleased.

A big thank you to Craig , Don , Wayne , Rob , Angus , Steve , and Greg for all their expertise and help.

It has made the build so much more enjoyable and much less frustrating.

I can't wait to go for a drive.

Cheers

Brad

The wheels are there I have to torque the rear rear hub nuts and put in some split pins then its all systems go .

The dash is very close to being installed as is the radiator.

I will post some more photos of the car with some wheels on next week

Cheers

Hi Brad

Did you go with the Halibrands? If so can you please post a pic once you unpack them? I think you said you were going 17's...

Cheers

Tony

Default Wheels

Hi Darryl

I am going to use the 17" GT 40 wheels so they will fit over the brakes.

The 15" wheels wont fit over the brake rotors and discs.

Cheers

Brad

Looking great Brad! It's very exciting seeing it all come together. Can't wait to get my very own Pace427. Not long now!

Do you have any kind of idea for completion.....or, at the very least when she'll be a driver?

Hi Paintwerks

Completion date . The fact is there are some parts still in the ordering and supply chain so when i get ready for them i think they will be in store.

Craig is working his little butt off trying to please everyone and order everything so it arrives on time.

I was hoping to have it ready for the nationals but now that won't happen, before Christmas is a more realistic completion date.

Fuel tank should be ready Tuesday and the pedal box base and stuff will be any day now.

Cheers

Brad

Looks like you are making great progress!
I like the Rivets used on the Bonnet Scoop.
Are you planning to put Rivets on the Bonnet as well?

Keep up the Great Work!

Potential traction problem... solved (almost).
