If either of you guys plan on entering....I'm not goin' near the joint.....
So, what's the plans for a powerplant kirk..? No thoughts yet.....or you gonna unveil it at QMHE...??

I might have to look into that Powerplus paint...I think my local Auto1 has it....Cheaper than hobby paint too I guess....

Don't forget to post a pic once she's polished out Tubbs..

After much thought, I've decided on a big block. I looked at a couple of late model injected motors but they were either too tall or didn't take my fancy. Even considered a 409 but nothing fitted the theme. Only problem is getting big block strackies (sorry extractors) my have to make some out of solder I think. Won't be much chrome, just a few little bits.
Yeah, depends on when I finish it, if it's close to QMHE I'll hold off showing finished oics I think....probably change my mind tho
That Powerplus is the same as Duplicolour, both made by Holts. I use scratch filler primer always, straight from the rattle can and if you find a colour you like in the can, use it. Don't forget, it sprays different to enamels. If you need any help, give me a holla.

That is one nice build. I didn't think that the colours would to together as well as they do love the chrome work to, is one sweet ride ...

hey little Bro (or not so little), really impressive work, goes to show that even a dirty old chev can look cool, when are you coming to Mackay to do the BMF on a couple of my old builds. My foil is so old its got more wrinkles than me.....

Geez, ya first post and you're into me already I can't help it if you turned to the dark side. If you want some BMF let me know , I can get it local.

truth be known its the BLUE side, besides i never thought a car should wear a bow tie................ AND, the first post should be memorable... bet ya dont forget it 1 pack of BMF should do for a while i reckon. Dont use much on the bikes

Geez Kirk, I thought you was a "one off".....now you sayin you got a brother...We're in trouble if you both get to QMHE......

Yeaah ! Go BB......What about a late model Vette motor....TPI style thingie.....I got one floating around if ya need one..

Thats a cool build ! Great paint scheme ,cant wait to see it finished

He's more into his bikes so I think we are safe and he's in Mackay anyway.
Thanks for the offer but I had a look at some injections set ups that I have (all small block) but they would have been out of the bonnet and didn't look right but I know what I will be doing with Rocker covers, not sure about aircleaner but have ideas.
Got the disc brakes adapted (from the F&F Monte Carlo) to the stock diff and to the stock front, also got brake lines on the diff done, just got to do hand brake cables. Chassis has been smoothed too a degree and fuel tank moved and a custom one made and Alcladed. Was going to add fuel pump but going with the theme it will be hidden (it's there, honest ). Just got to do front brake lines and try and find something to make real springs for suspension.
I'll do some update pics soon.

Aye...no worries man..
Hey, I still got some spare rims for you too, from the 69 Nova..I'll bring 'em to Bris-Vegas if'n I don't seeya before that...

I'd hold off from showing the powerplant 'till show-time.....Keep us all guessing....

Beautiful job so far.

Oh crap, just when one was enough you find out he's a clone. Atleast the origanal knows the better manufacturer .

Ha, laughs on you buddy, his first car was a HK wagon, then HQ sinbin (Panelvan), then he went to the darkside, I blame him leaving home and moving to Queensland, bloody banana benders......yeahyeah, I know I live in Queensland too but the heart is still in NSW

Stunning body, That color is just too cool!!

Lookin' wilder each time you post. Keep it going...

Got this sucker polished out today, woohoo, didn't polish through anywhere. Also got front screen in without getting glue all over it. Got some pics of other bits that I have done as well.







And this will be ride height.

O-M-G! That paint job is inches deep! Nice shine on that one. This is one beautiful build! This has "WINNER" written all over it.

YUM!! With the clear coat on it really sings. Beautiful!!

Fantastic work so far Tubman - can't wait to see it finished!

Great smooth finish on ya paint

Fantastic colour and what a superb shine! Nice work man, she'll be a knock out
