Very cool, now get some black etch and spray the outside of the radiator support panel, ie behind the grill, under the wheel arches, and the like post haste. 
 
Cheers. 

Hi Bomber, I had considered doing that, and in the end if if was a road car I would paint those areas black. My theory is if I leave it white I would be able to see any leaks or any grease from a part that might be failing. Easy to spot that sort of stuff on a white surface.
I am considering doing the rad support panel as that wouldn't be a spot for grease or oils. And it would look heaps better.

Paint the black bits

Then the scrutineers can't see the oil leaks either !!

+1 for black bits

Maybe black is the way to go. Will have to have a think about it.

Started cleaning door hardware. Great job this is!!

That sure looks tidy...should just wheel it into the living room so you can look at it all the time.

LOL, that comment could be in the thread about shit Torana owners never say, or in his case "stuff Torana owners WIVES never say", why don't you bring your car into the living room dear for all the family to enjoy and admire".
Don't think that'll happen anytime soon LOL.

LIthium grease and carbon powder are your freinds here. 
 
Cheers. 

 
Cheers Bomber, will have to get some tomorrow. I was also talking to Welby and he said the same.

 

Looking good man

Cheers Clint. Pretty happy in the end with the panel work. I certainly know what I would try next time. It's been a great learning experience doing the panel work by myself.
When I catch up with you next, just promise me you won't look to close, LOL.

Bond/Harvey, here we come

Had to move the inside door handle as it would clash with the roll cage in the original position.
Works a treat.

How'd you know that that was the theme I going to use on the car?? Did I mention that earlier??
That's the intent anyway, to base it loosely on the HDT 1976 colours.

Quote - I constantly look at photo's of this car, its a massive inspiration for me to get this thing done.  

It is also similar to what I want my car to be painted up like. It's more than tough!!! - End Quote

 

 

That is where you said it, and when you are doing a White back ground, I put 1 and 1 together and here we are. Dave I

LOL, I did to!! Good stuff Dave. I love that colour scheme HDT did for 76.
I'd forgotten about that.
Cheers for the comments on what I've done so far, appreciate it mate.
