That’s the attitude

Those tail pipes look factory !!!

You know what … I am not painting the 57 now . I am going to sand all that brown primer off . I will fix. The rust . And have the new sections paint matched to the rest of the old paint work … why , because a car only has its original paint once !

1 any car any age . As soon as you modify anything it has to be certified by lvvta 2 nope … any country and vehicle 3 i am really not sure why mate . But most likely because of older cars having short vin numbers , note that when they create the new vin , the old short digits are incorporated 4 lvvta want us hobby boys to have plans first so it saves on wasted time money and hair pulled out when you stuff something up .. there have been lots of storeys about guys building stuff and ignoring what is best trade practice , then finding out when the car is completely finished that they have to pull them apart again ! its all in the name of safety frosty There is a mountain of USA practices that won’t comply here , or in ozzy for that matter and ozzy is even tougher on cars than we are ! You can certainly justA build your car how you want then go to a certifier and get it checked but, why not be on the same page as the certifier and make life easier aye . I built the cortina without a plan then presented it for certification . And I only had a few little things to sort . But I didn’t do any thing structural. The 57 is getting chopped up big time to make the c4 gear work way out of my pay grade hence the plan and a engineer to do all cutting, making and welding . It’s called kiss 😘 haha

completly agree mate ! Thats the trick JustA, if you follow the hobby car manual you will pass and it will get on the road legal, and more importantly, safe !

Hang onto mine JustA and i will come and personally get it off you

Nice work mate

First thing to do is get the car a vin ! this is a nz vehicle identification number and they rivet a plate on the car … from there we can modify the car … and a certifier will check and lvvta will approve all modifications and I mean every modification!! Right down to welds and bolts , the whole nine yards !

This process starts with applying to lvvta or low volume vehicle testing authority for a design approval … here in nz we have this ….. There is a 21 page application form to fill out explaining what I want to do .. in my case . Graft c4 corvette front and rear suspension to the stock 57 chassis .. use stock steering and the ls2 with 6 speed auto 6l80e

After waiting nearly 2 years my engineer is ready to start work on the 57 !!! watch this space for the beginings of the restomod 57 !!

they sure do rick ... here is the l98 thats going into my 57 and i have another one to go into my 63 wagon this ones out of a ve Holden you will find them in g8 pontiacs

nah Paul, once you have all the boixes ticked she will give you years of happy motoring

i built it to learn how to do a stands alone fuel injection system, and it goes very very well ! 750kg car and 162 brake horse power at the back wheels 152lbft@ 5173 rpm out of a duratec engine out of a ford mondeo .. i am selling it as i need the room to build the 63 and 57 !!

i wont even say what its costing to get shipped !!! justA so expensive to send stuff over that little ocean these days !!!

It’s called shit happens Paul

awwww,,, i see dave and chip chatting in your video !!! imagine if those two built a car !!!!!

such a easy fix for us ponti guys!!!!

nut or life ?

justA ordered a new wheel for the 72 ..... http://www.grantproducts.com/products/view/158/

hmm emergency door bypass rope ? or was it ?

well done

Your gona have to talk to the boss before giving away family jews ringo ! i feel she may be quiet upset about you swaping a nut for a car ..... but ... once they have done there job.......... go for it !!!, you really have nothing else to loose !

awww if i had known a impala one would have fitted i would not have even bothered with my jaws of life chopped one !!!

Thanks Last indian, i will find some simichrome i will need to use ppe, as my skin doesnt like chemicals, have psoriasis my whole life My skin is so sensitive that when fitzy was talking about selling the 65 i was getting itchy !

Not sure it’s worth changing mate . Only time it’s going to blow will be when a wire gets earthed .. and as long as it’s lower amperage than your wire size can take . It should be fine aye
