Hey all this is my 61 single cab / work in progress. I now live in Hobart and it lives in launceston, so i don't get to work on it as much as i would like. Had it sand blasted before christmas, plenty of panel work to go. I have already replaced a number of tray cross members, internal hinge plates for the treasure chest doors. and a few other things.

As you can see, the front is a little messy and contained a fair bit of bog. I do have a new clip to go in, when time permits.

does anyone know if there is a reproduction panel to go behind the cab?

what for? That one looks sweet...

Peter Kosler in BURNIE peeled his off and panel beated it. He's a gun !
Looked like new and it was bent to hell.
Excellent project Dude! Got yourself a sweet ride.
Bring on the pic's.

It is rough as, will take a considerable amount of effort to get it pretty. I guess i am just looking for the easy way out.

I think Edd in HOBART could help you. He sells schofield panels. Not cheap though Mate. He always keen to helpand has a horse that drinks Bundy! Classic! Edd-0437 892 466 .

hey daveo,
I have bought some panels from jeremy fish, i think his edds business partner. I will probably machine up some dollies to try and get it nice.
I have started to acquire the steel to make a rotissery to do the under side. steel price is nuts at the moment though. you must of bought your steel at the right time.

Did i mention i am putting in a second treasure chest door.

looking good man , i wish i had the time and money to put mine through that

It might cost you for the rotisserie but you will be STOKED!
Makes life so easy. Then you can sell when finished...To easy!
Great investment.

hey daveo,

Did you know that it come from the same home as your ride. although about 5 years earlier.

hey all,
Today i cut out the fuel bay floor, it was a little like swiss cheese. i am going to do a similar repair to Robk and put in some checker plate as the car is going to be a driver and it is not really visible. Just waiting on the checker plate now.

Doing well Mate! Looks like you dont mind getting your hands dirty.
Just do whatever it takes to get the ol girl on the road so we can cruz!
Looks like we got em off a "Wheeler & Dealer"....At least they can only improve in value hey?

good stuff i love it when people, do it the right way not the dodgey way .
keep it up

Hey all,
Over the easter weekend i have replaced the drivers side rear corner of my single. still waiting for the steel for the fuel bay floor, dads mate must have forgot about it.
cheers

i have also made some new bpost sections as both sides had completly rotted out. I got some profiled zincseal plate and formed them over a timber former as seen in the picture. I have also made two new fuel tank support brackets.
