So I've looking a round for a while for somewhere I can get my dash flocked. I couldn't find anywhere so decided to do it myself

My dash was pretty cracked so needed some plastic filler to fill in all the cracks then a good sanding to get it all smooth

Then coat it all in glue then sprinkle on the Flock

I'm really impressed on how it turned out. It needs to cure for 72 hours so I'll put up more pics once completed

Here's a few pics of the before and after

So we had Small Ford Sunday today run by my car club (Rallye Sport Owners Club of Victoria). Was an awesome day with over 300 cars turning up. Keep an eye out for a write up in the next edition of Classic Ford Magazine.

So Saturday we spent the day just throwing a few bits in it then put on the flares and got it on the trailer













Here's the pics of the build and from today

Yes, We thought about rushing the final painting to get it ready in time but decided to wait and do it properly

The car is now 80% built and sitting on a trailer ready to go

I'll get some pics up tomorrow after the show but to say I am happy is an understatement

PM me Mark if you want a sneak peak

Cheers

Matt

You have pm...cheers mark

Dropped in today to pick up that bonnet.... it's much better than I was expecting, thanks.

The car is coming along nicely...

How many all nighters are you planning before Sunday?????

Hey Mate,

Was up till 3 last night so thevend is in site

Weve decided to just get it to the show in undercoat thrn paint afterwards. We'd hate to rush it and not do the hest job we can

The interior will be complete though so it should look pretty cool anyway hopefully

Cheers

Matt
