Maybe I should clarify... Its the nerds who can afford to buy cool cars or pay someone else to build their cars... Not saying Dirtbag's brother is a nerd, but I sure know I could build one way before I could afford to pay someone else to.

hey mate the donk looks awesome cant wait to see the car. when you said u used engine enamel then 2k clear did u let the enamel dry fully or was it wet on wet. just curious cos i would of thought a reaction between the enamel and a reduced paint would happen. obvious not and im keeping it in mind for future projects........

Thanks wblje. I've used the engine enamel with 2pac clear a few times now, and never had any problems. The 253 in my hilux was done the same and even after 2 years it still degreases up like brand new.
The hilux and this motor were coloured and cleared in the one session, but the engine enamel had tacked off before I cleared it. 2 pac is just enamel with hardener, so a reaction would be very unlikely. The thing I like about it is how easy it is to do. Having said that, you can use any 2pac base colour and clear it and not have any problems, but when doing the motor such a generic colour like black the engine enamel is a lot cheaper : )

Well I am here at dirtbags secret race developments HQ and there is no car, did someone tell him I was sneaking in with cameras at the ready, the only thing I can find are a few blue bits. what to do, he has even hidden the camaro from me the mean bugger, I shall have to resort to mounting hidden cameras around his garage, but so far the only decent shot in focus is his arse so I think we will call that indecent and not post it

Just so everyone knows, dirtbag. I mentioned something about "super cool and awesome, funky door opener buttons on Rana Girls thread and it caught Tim's attention. So i'm telling him about it on his thread.
Now, let's get stuck into it shall we?
No dirtbag, they are not door poppers. They are super cool and awesome, funky door opener buttons ( SCAFDOB's). Certainly not those ones where a doorlock knob stem thing (DKST) pokes up out near the glass. Certainly not a round button that has been flushed in the middle of the door ( similar in placement to the lock). It's such a deviously cool idea, that it will suit my hatch perfectly. You will wish you thought of it. Almost invisible and very legal. Oh, and my prototype works like magic. However�............
Because you played silly buggers with your paint and wheels.......... You, my friend, will wait.
Unless of course, you SHOW ME THE BLOODY WHEELS ON THE CAR WITH THE BLOODY PAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure you understand

Would it help if i said that the wheels will suit the car prefectly in my opinion an the paint is just right for a period car as are the mags, being round and ... oh no my laptop battery is going flat

Hey Kush, another piss funny post : ) I love your post. Especially the SCAFDOBs and DKSTs : ) hahahaha
I did a 1928 model A tudor once with shaved handles and I made it so you pulled the mirror to pop the door. It was cool I thought.
Looking forward to seeing what you've done.

I can assure you that I'm not trying to be funny. Most of the time I'm serious. Why is it that if someone is incredibly wealthy and don't fit the mould,
you are called 'eccentric' but if you are busted-arse broke, you are labelled as crazy? It plagues my mind. And the apprentices at work think I'm scary because I was unfortunate enough to be born with a serious face, so when I come out with some of the stuff I say, they look at me like I could eat their liver with some kyanti beans and a nice shianti (silence of the lambs joke)
oh and one more thing, nice attempt at fishing with the mirror on the Tudor. That ain't it.........
Hurry up with the paint on the hatch!

What's with the love affair with manual boxes? Did you get run over by an automatic car as a child? My hatch will have a manual in it, but it will probably pull some crappy ETs at the strip. Only because I'm unco.

Hey Kush. I don't totally hate autos, they serve some purposes, like in nannas camry or some stocko A to B car, like my commodore wagon - looked for 4 months and couldn't find a manual one. But things like toranas, monaros, camaros, mustangs, hot rods etc need manual boxes, or they're just boring to drive. This is just what I like, I have no problem with other people ruining their cars with autos : ) I just can't justify doing all that work on a car and then not having a fun gearbox.
As for getting run over by an auto, that would be hard, as it wouldn't have enough power left after the auto to drive over me
