New Year builds?

[v8dodger]

i was thinking that my self building my own interpreting but not a  skilled body roller / builder so not sure if this is pos for me,

monkey I'm a bit skint for now and i think its going to be well in to Feb when i may  start to look in to this but based on that youtub clip  on your build thread  its got me thinking that most parts i should be able to find at a breakers i go to that deals in  commercials, my thinking is the axles.. OK i think i need to start a new thread as have a shed lode of stuff to ask. im hooked ..lol

I've got a tractor steering wheel in my truck. 
The model T roadster that Loony & I plan to build will live outside in all weathers & have drainage holes in the floor to let the rain water out!

Finish the 535 that i started before the weather went to pot.
Lights, mud guards, 4 way flasher, bleed the back brakes, reflectors, handbrake. A few other odds and sods. I have no elektrikery in the garage (and not much room either) so have to use a 65 foot extension lead, so dont put the lead out if its raining. I heard that elektrikery and water dont mix.  
Just need some dry weather.
I think meself lucky that i dont live in the areas that have been flooded, so waiting a bit longer is nothing compared to what some folk have to put up with.

Very true mate.

I use a long lead to put power in my garage - the last one lasted about 10 years!  Out in all weathers!

[klogan45]

Hi Bobbi, not worried about how long the lead will last just dont like to take the risk of getting elektikified  
Some risks ( bikes, trikes etc) are worth taking some not.
Imknow....i'm a wimp  
I cant leave the lead out all the time as the garage is away from the house a bit and i have to run it across a footpath at the bottom of our steps. Having to get it out and put it away in the rain is not a good idea. Maybe one day i'll have a house with a garage and proper elektrikery in it. ( and a kettle, television, sky, fridge for the milk, a dvd player...............maybe not coz i wont get anything done)

Keep your eye on evilbay. Not only for second hand ones but there is a firm in N Wales that puts up bodies occasionally, cheaper than Pro Laminates. Cant remember their name, sorry. Also perhaps,  build your own.

Penguin speed shop maybe?? also hardy County hotrods, I think young mr Kapri has dealt with them. also just to add a little fuel to the fire... just been quoted $175 for a genuine 26/7 T cowl from T Haven in the states.. probably get it into the country for around £50 via Tuckett brothers... worth a thought folks.. real steel at almost a give away price 

[kapri]

Tucketts often have T bits and pieces in stock as well. Anyway , you don't want rusty old steel when you can buy shiny new non rusting grp

Yup, used Hardy County and got my moneys worth ie you tend to get what you pay for and it was in my budget and a good base but ( obviously) requires a fair bit of fettling.

I've still got a Model A GRP bulkhead here that could form the base of a cheap Speedster body.
