Rear brakes done, handbrake hooked up then fitted the brake and clutch pedals, had to shorten the clutch Rod about 6 mm to get the pedal in the middle of the hole and put a cut out in it for the steering box raise

Re: The other 61 Ute
Then I had a go at fitting the treasure chest doors, got some used locks from Gordon out of his stash
Doors will need a bit of a massage but they are close, starting to look like a complete ute

Re: The other 61 Ute
Yeah BBT, fit quite well
Only complaint is that they don’t put enough spot welds on them, easy fix before painting
Actually all these panel’s they need to spot weld more, the treasure chest doors and the engine lid have very few spot welds
But it’s an easy fix and their panels always fit nicely

Awesome, looking forward to seeing this one back on the road. I think your a ute guy so it's not quite right when your not knocking about in one

Re: The other 61 Ute
Only got paint on the floor, front and dash, mainly because it gives me a chance to get it drivable
Picking up an engine in Melbourne on the weekend
