Going to look at a couple of possible new projects later this week. If either one looks as good as it's meant to be, I will be putting everything else I've got up for sale.
HJ Premier, 40 Chev pickup project, 34 Chev Sedan project.
Plan is to get something that's an easy project and then stick with that and my Valiant (daily driver) and get rid of everything else. Just getting frustrated at lack of progress, and I cant see it changing in the near future.

.
Starting to get a bit that way myself - thinking about putting up the galaxie (just with its FMX auto and 9", no motor) and the lincoln (460, C6, 9"). Maybe sell them together as a project.
Just want to focus on my XB and the missus valiant.

Sorry guys, the chev stays. Both the projects I'm looking at need an engine/gearbox and if I dont get either, it will go into the HJ.

Jay, yeah I can probably hang onto the diff till Christmas, but as soon as you can would be good, as I'll be looking for dollars either way!

Metal Prep at Kingston / Loganlea are very good.

They have done both my chassis' for me and do a very good deal for cash, and excellent turn around time.


Sandblasting only, I'm onto my 5th bonnet atm so need it done right without warping.

Id love the truck, but i dont have the time to finish it.

You should sell everything as a package phill! you could defiantly make something sweet out of all of it!

My 40 chev pickup is the one I bought off of Nick (Deadsled). It's pretty much as it was when I bought it off him, so if you search his posts, you will find pics.

There's not a lot to it, and there's a lot of work to do, but for someone with the skills and time, it would make one hell of a cool ride.

Will dig up some pics in the next few days for those not interested in searching Nick's old posts.

Watching the Touring Car Masters at Sandown, with the Camaro's, Mustangs, Monaro's, Falcons, Porsches, Chargers etc. Makes V8 Stupidcars look even dumber than it is

Another vote for the "V8 Stupidcars" party here!

They are soooo slow looking (I'm used to watching 6000 hp Top Fuellers, Top Alky, Top Doorslammers etc.) and they all look the same. At least the Muscle Car Masters race cool cars and they take real skill to drive.

anyone know where I could find some statistics about car wheels I've tried googling stuff but I'm hopeless... not sure if it exists
mainly need info about number of cars on the road with steelie wheels
number of new cars coming out with steelies
...might have to do surveys... but people hate people who do surveys- well I hate them.

74QEE
Post #2092

why in fucks name do you want to know that? and what benefit does absoloutly anyone get out of it?

Jive Turkey
Post #2093

information is a strange thing
insignificant information it may be to you but
there is huge money in information that you just probably don't realise

74QEE
Post #2094

No im just curious as to why anyone would want to know that?

Jive Turkey
Post #2095

I traffic information
mostly business reports/ analysis- usually private companies because the information isn't freely available
market assessment, forecasting- boring crap
but I have been scouring automotive manufacturing statistics and I can't find shit... maybe just looking in the wrong places...
all I can determine is market is shifting towards smaller more economical cars
so I figure they will either use steel wheels to keep the price down
or alloys to keep the weight down and be more economical...
most small cars use steelies I think well those suzuki swifts do
but I'm also after sales of aftermarket wheels to know whether those cars that have steelies will choose to keep them or not
I can't really discuss the business idea because I had to sign a piece of paper saying I may be sued if I do
I think they have patents pending or something...
also need to research current competition, the whole swot analysis- usual crap
...you wanted to know?
