Sheri offered to get some small things out of the way for me. Wanted to get all the black powder coat of all the chrome so she got stuck into that so its ready and while she was at it, she cleaned up the spare and got that painted....scrubbed the tyre a little to get the dirty dust out of the tread. She's still got some work to do on it she said

She also went around the car and fitted all the roof rail rubbers correctly and re-glued them all

Got started on the front brakes. Going to start getting them sorted so once K OTIC is off the lift... we can get the Boss on

Then I have everything all lined up ready to bolt straight up in a nice pile.

New calipers rolled up (painted black) so there now cast iron grey

Stellar work Matt.

You know, very few women would get stuck into helping with the cars like Sheri does! A real treasure

By the way, Jeremy and Monique are very excited about catching up with you and Sheri for Sema. Hope you all have a ball.

Mark, its Sheri here, no problem at all. Im just as eager to see the car done. (actually, all of them would be great) Every little bit that I can do to alleviate Matts workload is invaluable. He has been pulling some long days. He's outside with Sherm at the moment trying to sort out your door lock issues and trying to co-ordinate the front screen. He wants to fit the door panels today but needs the parts from Sherm

Thanks for that rocket. All though Matt does tells me every day, its nice to get some recognition from outside the office

As J said, were gonna make the movie "Hangover" look like a day at kindergarden.

Were really looking forward to catching up with them also. Matt was over the moon that J said he was coming over. We have a bit of a surprise install for them. Hopefully they can swing a flight down to Florida after SEMA. Might be able to take him and Monique for a drive in the twin turbo mustang

Found an original AM radio which is on its way to Matt

rocket · « **Reply #59 on:** November 04, 2012, 04:18:11 pm »

Hi Mark, That AM Radio looks to be in immaculate condition.

I reckon AM is all you need in Adelaide. 89.1 for current information, 97.2 for Newsradio, 1323 for good music, 1395 for talkback, and the other one for the races.

Spot on Rod. Actually it is in excellent shape apparently as it was removed from its original 70 Mustang early and hardly used.

Been watching this thread with interest.

Looking great.

Grabber Blue is one of my favourite colours

The rebuilt carby is now back. Can't wait to see it fitted.

Shermatt · « **Reply #63 on:** November 09, 2012, 01:02:11 am »

Gonna try and move some cars around today and get it on the lift. Been a very hectic yet messy 10 days catering for the Ozzie invasion.

Glenn from Gasolene TV loved the Boss...he even done a snippet on it while we were there with "K OTIC"...should air in Feb apparently Mark

keep up the good work guys.........I am looking forward to cruising with this one!

mwizz · « **Reply #65 on:** November 09, 2012, 09:45:08 pm »

Thanks Matt, it will be great to see that episode

mwizz · « **Reply #66 on:** November 14, 2012, 09:53:17 pm »

Matt has done some more work on the door locks and window frames

considering I have now been hitting Sherm up for 4 days to come down and finish the door glass and waited for 5 hours yesterday for him to venture down so I could fit the door panels and hardware....I gave up waiting....left the office at 2pm and went and did inspections.

I wanted the door panels on before it went on the lift so the doors didnt have to opened and hit the lift.....what a waste of days as I could of got the exhaust on aswell as the starter and other things before the Eleanor arrived today.

Went to do the carby and was missing some bits (spacer & stuff)...everytime I go to do something I have to wait for parts or people....YES...I SPAT THE F@#KING DUMMIE yesterday....BIG TIME

Both K OTIC and the Boss are supposed to photographed for 2 different magazines next Sunday...neither are finished. Thanksgiving next Thursday and America STOPS...trying to have a crack at it at this stage is beginning to be NOT an option...if I miss another thanksgiving...Im going to be in BIG trouble and Im meant to be in Texas and Cali at the same time on Wednesday.
