Wow is all I can say. That is coming along so nice. Your detail work is incredible. I don't think you are forgetting anything. Going to be one beautiful Aussie Comechero when it's done. Anxious to see more pics.

It is already a beautiful car with everything you have done. I can't wait to see the finished version.

Wow! I wish the paint job on the body of mine looked as good as the paint job on your floorboards under the carpet. :roll: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

pretty happy with it so far, looks good out in the sun, Jim the paint isn`t show, I am no painter, only my 3rd paint job, but its shiny, I haven`t cut it back & buffed it yet, still has peel, will be a good daily driver for work & swap meets on the weekend, just hope to make some progress on it when my hand heels.

That's some awesome, amazing work man! I also STILL forget that everything moves left to right...musta spent 5-minutes staring at the steering box tucked in what we'd call the passenger side!

been a while since I have updated the build, it was a big set back with my injury & another follow up operation on my hand, all up I was out of action for nearly 4 months. The utes looking good now, I drove it out of the shed for the first time the other day, it has a base tune I wrote & I am just waiting for the guy to let me know when I can take it up for the proper tune on the dyno, looking forward to seeing how much power it makes & how it drives, sounds good at the moment, I am trying to get it finished for our all Ford day July 30th, I have only the hanging panels to finish painting & a few fidly things to finish off other than that its almost finished, heres a few more pics.
