75 Monza (rhd) rebuild

[Kenova]

It's good to see the project is alive and well.
I spent a few minutes reviewing your build pictures. I am amazed at what you blokes will do to comfortably drive a North American car on the wrong side of the road. Does this not take all of the fun out of passing a truck on the highway?
All kidding aside, you chaps Down Under are some of the most hard core rodders I've come across.
Given the chance I would gladly buy you a beer.
Again,

Ken

G'day Ian. The car looks great mate woof!! I'm jealous The Camaro air dam looks like it was made for the car. Where did you get your bonnet scoop from, it looks really good. I think I'm going to have to go that way with what I've done to the motor. I've run into "lack of money" problems so mine is still sitting on stands all stripped down.
[quote][Does this not take all of the fun out of passing a truck on the highway?] Ken - it does but it also keeps your heart at an even pace It's either that or have a good passenger to spot for you as I will probably have to do when I finally get mine on the road

Well we had a great time on our holiday in the U.S.The Street Rodder tour to Sema was fantastic met some great people and their cars went to plenty of street rod workshops and car museums public and private,and Sema what can i say so much to take in.But back to reality must finish the Monza have been working on the interior plastic panels which were very soft and chalky .i sanded them back as much as possible to a sound base then coated them with 2 to 3 coats of Flowcoat for repairing fibreglass with a brush after the last coat i used a elcheapo paint roller to give the surface a bit of texture then painted them with VHT Hood Bumper And Trim urethane paint in satin black.not perfect but looks a whole lot better.
