My 26T Coupe build thread

1.8 tip Don, Its only a miniflake so comes out pretty nice.

Look forward to the update on young Dans car, Its gonna be a cool ride. I will never be to old for a Hotrod ride old chap

Boy do those backing plates look fantastic. What size tip do you use to shoot that flake, Steve?

Oh, BTW, we have a little update coming on Dan's RPU.........you might actually get that ride sometime before you get too old to climb in it.

Steve,
Really nice detail work.
I can't think of his name at the moment, but my wife and I were at Costco's this morning and ran into the guy from Reid's he and his wife and son. I told him I was communicating with you threw the Internet, he said Hello!

They look so good (the backing plates) you have convinced me for certain that my T has too be that sort of Flake, bloody marvellous,now I just need to get "A" into "G" get back to work,earn some real money so that I can afford to start back onto the car. Damn it is so hard when one is on a sickness benefit,oh well the mortgage is still been paid, so not all is been lost. Cheers Whip.

The more i looked at the backplates i wasn't completely happy with them, so i made up some stainless rings for the drilled holes, Yes it was a lot of turning on the lathe.

Oh yes, those backing plates were just pathetic before. You remind me of someone I live with who can't ever say something is done.

That does look nice though.

I've said it before, but Damn Man you do NICE work. Question are you gonna drive this when it's done. I've seen show cars that didn't look quite that nice and they were afraid to take em out of the trailer. Someone might drool on em.............................

[Ken Thurm]

Nice touch, to me that's the kind of detail that really makes a difference. Nice work Steve. It only takes a few hours, but last a life time.

Opps........... I spoke too soon. Just had another look and that cotter pin ain't polished. Subtract 2 points............. Normally I wouldn't save a pic of a backing plate, unless I needed it for refrence. But that one I have to save. Might give me a little inspiration to do my stuff just a wee bit better...

[roadster32]

Drive it, oh yes definitly, My aim is to run a 10 second quarter at the drags on the crossply tyres, thats bias belted to you guys

If you saw me out in my car you would think i stole it

I like to give them a regular work out, no point in having them otherwise in my opinion.

I just like to try and do the best job i can but thanks for the kind comments they are really appreciated.
