The new Boss
« on: January 25, 2014, 11:47:14 pm »
Hi all, well thought I would put up a couple of pics of the Boss as it is nearly ready. Went to visit it today at Image Classic Cars. The engine has just been machined and matched and reinstalled. It will get a tune next week followed by a bit of suspension work, installation of the steering wheel which has just been restored and a few other minor bits and pieces. It will then go over the pits ready for rego.

Will you be making the trip to Geelong at Easter? With the guys at Image on the job you'll be sure to pick up some silverware.

Unfortunately wont be going as part of the deal to getting this Boss was to take my wife on a holiday and thats when she booked to go - but it was worth it.

Its funny how quick kids learn to drive a car, yet fail to understand a lawnmower.

Hi Mark,

Looks great. The white interior really accentuates the blue. Goes well with Burgundy too!

Just happened to pull in at work when the Boss was parked as you see it in the above photos.

Immediate thoughts were "Shyte... That car looks fantastic "

Not long now before you are driving it Mark. That car will turn heads. :thumb:
