we made a start on the A chassis this afternoon. we step boxed the front of the frame rails to match the rest. next we cut the 4 shock brackets from 6mm plate and they're now bolted in place ready to weld to the rails.

the model A truck chassis is now in my garage. pics and job list for us to do will follow.
oh, and i've ordered new discs for the exploder rear axle the A chassis has along with a pair of new scorpio rear calipers with carrier brackets. i couldn't make out from the pics which pads they take so i'll ...

i bought 3 new 10" wheels and tyres for my trailer today. i got heavy duty ones with 8 ply tyres, a little extra but worth it. on dad's transits which when loaded were always at their full gross weight we swapped from 8 ply to 10 ply tyres and halved our tyre issues re blowouts etc. so it's worth it ...

lol, you'd already had 5 years to get with the program by 94 then. what was you doing in all that time?

i'm collecting an ally 10 gallon fuel tank for the nash next weekend (thanks Gary) so that'll save me pulling the dent and welding the split on the bottom of the stock tank where it was drained with an axe
neil.

we made a start over the lst 2 days with a open to lsd swap. the lsd is now removed from the jensen interceptor axle and the mk2 daimler axle is now draining ready to pop the 1/2 shafts and open diff. the daimler axle is from my mates 't' beach racer come strip toy. on the strip it'd only do peg leg ...

Yes I’d already ruled out an Aussie one from a cost perspective. Just out of curiosity, what’s the third port for?

we're sort of back to plan A for engine choice, at least since i committed to the gasser build. ash' and me now have 3 352 fe's and a 360 along with 390 crank', rods and pistons which'll go into 1 of the 352 blocks for future 390 build. for now though the nash will be getting the 360 and a tremec t5 ...

i know it's not mopar but....
as above i'm looking for a tunnel ram inlet manifold for a ford 351 cleveland, 4v although i don't think a 2v one was ever made. collection at the nsra swapmeet preferred, i can send a deposit first of course.
cheers, neil.

with more than 1 engine in the pipeline i recently bought this. zddp at 1500 ppm. i've used it a few times now, as well as their gear oil (both lsd and not and auto trans fluid) they always deliver on time too.

ooh! a street freak

looks like i've sold the 318 engine and box to a mate so he can get his (my old) 66 fury back on the road for this summer. i doubt he'll want any of the rebuild/tuning parts i've accumulated but that's fine, i'll buy another non running 318 later when one comes up. it would've been a shame to strip ...
