teza40 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Posted May 28, 2008 Are you going to head out to the primer to pristine car show? Hey Trev, Yes i reckon i will be at the primer to pristine show,sadly i missed out on attending the pine rivers festival car show. Due to not being able to afford new shoes for the dodge (tyres),though that problem will be overcome very shortly. There are so many shows during June July August and i didnt buy it to leave it in the shed and pay it off ha ha ha ha,when i bought it odometer said 70074 miles.I'm told they are original miles (may have been around the clock once in 70 yrs) tho the cars condition says could well be original miles. One thing for certain it will read a heap more than that in my ownership,so if you spot me out n about or at a show.Give me a wave or say hi. cheers Teza Ps, the ke38 panel van still does most of my trips out too ipswich etc,great little every day car the rolla`s Quote

teza40 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 Hi 2 all, Just a quick update on the dodge, still no tires but during the week i got the amber tear drop lenses and another set of tear drop taillights. Fitted them along side the brake lights on the outter side. So now no one has an excuse to run up the arse of the old dodgey enjoy the pics sorry about quality they were taken very early saturday morning in a dark shed cheers Teza Quote
teza40 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Hi 2 all, Ok just had 12 days off and during that time i went to wintersun on the june long weeek end, a great sunday out just a pitty the dodge wasnt ready to take. On the subject of the dodge it is now just recently back on the road with 16x600 light truck tires and a set of porta walls white walls, and it looks great (see pic) real gangster car now lol. Many thanks to brian and rob waters of vintage tyre sales. Also spent 6 days out at ipswich working on my friends lounge room doing painting and working on the 38 chev,its starting to come along nicely now the the bulk of the body has been back too bare metal.Its coated in etch primer for now,found more bodgy bog job on the left hand side but to be expected and will fix up all good and look great when done. Enjoy the pics P.S. theres nothing like having a cheap 4 inch grinder go up in flames in your hands while using a wire wheel to clean the bare metal,believe me i dropped it real quick to the ground and kicked the power lead apart.Oh well you get what you pay for,thats 2 grinders so far.

teza40 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Posted June 23, 2008 Looking good mate. Hey Trev, thanks mate at least the dodge is back on the road ready for primer to pristine now etc. cheers Terry Quote
teza40 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Posted August 26, 2008 Hi to all, Yes it has been a while since last 38 chev update,have had other things on the go and winter in ipswich isnt all that kind as far as temperature goes for working back to bare metal etc. All is back on the go now tho,as of the week end of 23rd,24th august the engine and gearbox are out the front sheet metal (bonnet,grill shell etc) are off the car.The firewall has been mostly back to bare metal and etch primed,the front fenders are and been getting some more work done on them (its play with bog time)and the grill shell has been back to bare and etched oh and the left side of the roof finally got etch primer. So as you can see by the pics its getting there and starting too look good in repair/rebuild stage,this car is planned to be a nice dark burgundy colour so i had better get it as straight as possible (plenty of bog filling and sanding too do and cheat heaps with spray putty). enjoy the pics Cheers until next time Teza40 Quote
