I have been a bit slack with the updates, but the work continues. The sill panels have been modified to suit the side exhausts.

The engine plate is done, dont think I would do this again if I had the time over. Worked out a bit more costly than I had hoped.

Picked up a set of OM Simmons off Ebay, they needed a bit love to get them looking the part though.

Engine bay has been finished in primer with a few subtle mods. All excess holes have been filled. Just waiting on a radiator so we can finish the support panel & paint it.

Also nailed down a colour finaly

Love it Steve, looks great.

The engine plate is wild as well. Can just imagine the grief that would have been to dummy up and then create.

Time is not on my side but will endeavour to come out and visit.

No worries J1, hopefully you can make it out. Would be good to catch up.

Was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the colour. Norm, how about posting a pic of the Seducer so soc123 can get a better idea of how his might look. Colour is awesome.

soc123_au · « **Reply #161 on:** November 14, 2011, 09:23:43 pm »

Stormin sent me some pics of Seducer a while ago, it looks great. Mine will be a bit different though.

stormin · « **Reply #162 on:** November 14, 2011, 09:30:54 pm »

I DID ???

Yes, about 18 months/ 2 years ago. When I bought a holley off you for Stanglovers car. Yours wasnt finshed yet, but the body was painted & assembled.

stormin · « **Reply #164 on:** November 15, 2011, 07:05:03 pm »

Memory not what it used to be but I do remember the holley.
I have a brand new 750 DP race carby with drop leg boosters and chrome bowls I want to get rid off. $350 takes it .

Oh the crazy things we do. Should look pretty when it all goes back together though.

You happy with it Steve?

soc123_au · « **Reply #168 on:** January 21, 2012, 03:34:47 pm »

Oh yes. Very happy, pics don't do it justice.

Wow, that looks stunning, beautiful colour.
Is it legal to fit side pipes to a car if not factory fitted?

soc123_au · « **Reply #170 on:** January 21, 2012, 05:28:26 pm »

Yes, in NSW anyway. As long as they are behind the rear most opening window. By 12 inches from memory.

moe · « **Reply #171 on:** January 21, 2012, 05:35:30 pm »

Looking good Steve!

Any rough projected completion date???
Are you going to keep the grey centers on the simmons or get them colour matched?

soc123_au · « **Reply #172 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:02:28 pm »

The wheels are staying as they are. I think they will match nicely.
Hopefully it will be frying tyres by the end of the year. as long as I dont go over budget on anything else.

Beautiful colour !

Great choice.

Cheers,
Frank.
