Learning is spose to be a fun experience,its all not my doing though. only money but the worst thing was i wasnt getting any of this done unless it would pass for rego.

He has ruined the car and what i wanted to achieve.it would of passed in melb ,but seems ive passed the cut off point because of setback with the dodgy work ,will only ever just be a drag and abit of showin .if i could scrape more money up id get a clip from Frank Zagari.engineer was going to just do tinwork and the areas that need fixing and settle for second best and move on to the nxt thing to do to her

allready told that it wont pass by rta here.and was informed just recently by fabricator who uses the rta fella was saying the new rules arechaos,that you cant  tubbed cars regd anymore,even interstate now.only probably on sly inspection by someone.

That sucks mate have had sh*tfights with fabricators & borderline work also burned financially on my lc that I lost interest in it & couldnt look at it.

 

Seems easier to start again but damn sentimental valure kicks you in the bum.

[MARKL]

Serious props to you for persevering with this project despite being #@$^%& around so much. Looking forward to seeing the finished result.

Hi Maz,

 

Are your rails 840mm outside to outside of box sections atm?

 

I measured the standard LC, and seems to be about 810mm.

 

You are spot on Dave that the rails should have been shorter ,14'' is the measurement from outside of rail to

inner lip.

 

there is a measurement back through here somewhere.measured from c pillar to clip and its near exact

 maz's fabricatoin 042.jpg

 

You need to get the rails moved in Mate. 

[madtoranajzedded]

Haha yeah your right  Dave but your out by miles.  3mm in fact 

 

i have made up my mind to take Ray's clip out and have gave Frank a txt just to get a rough quote on his bare clip.

 

like what we chatted about Franks ,has a way better profile.the sheet steel work will look heaps better especially at the front of the tub floor area and side of clip.

 

ive done a few measurements and im looking at moving them in around 2 1/4 inches ea side to accomodate bigger feet.

 

Was only going to go 28s as didnt want to stretch the guard too much as i dont like how some look flat at the top

 

ive looked at some sizes mickey's and hoosiers and they dont get that much wider than what i have bar a couple inches

why don't you get Michael prehn from penguin to do the work on your car,he has put more clips in cars than I can count & his work is top notch and he is quick.

[madtoranajzedded]

Nar im pretty settled on whos doing it bud,I dont know Michael especially that last
name haha......Gonzo is going to do the work ,he is only 40ks away and way more convenient
if we need to discuss anything in particular how i want it to look or change etc.me doing the measures saves having the car crowding his shop while hes on other projects and waiting for clip housing to arrive. This is how the clip will look but slightly different loop,but still discussing small detail on that atm.
