Once Bob picked up the Guitar it was time to go home. His was the last shed anyway.
Ahhh a 39 Mercury, I had one once it was my second car and it went up in smoke.
Check out the shed that this photo was taken in I want one like that.
A 32 five window nice, Barracuda drag car all in one shed

This is how the rocker cover looked before I started on the rebuff. Today I received the Pole Position Auto Billet oil cap which looks so good on the rocker cover. In the pack from Jeff is some other goodies to go on the finished motor I will show you those later.
Extractors cleaned and painted ready to go back. Ceramic alloy finish.
Squeaker hard at work on the rocker cover. Get that camera out of me face.......
Rocker cover, Thermostat housing and base re polished and ready for sealing. We have done the cold air alloy pipes and silicone blue pipes as well.
We finished the night by fitting the new power steering switch removing the power steering pump for painting and the surport bracket for polishing. Next time we intend to test fit the turbo to make should we do not have the modify anything.
Yesterday I arrived at Squeakers (aka Neil) and Neil had the car turned around and was positioning it in the shed. Neil and I have for weeks discussed what we were going to do to the car in preparation for the Cairns Guide show to the car. Work started last night and the above picture is were we finished last night most things strip out. We will be taking the power steering pump off to paint and the thermostat housing has to come off to be rebuffed.
We had a hell of a job getting the Extractors out, they had better go back in easier when there painted. All the alloy pits are to be re polished or to be polished and some other bits are off to be painted.
This is what it looked like before we started our attack. Neil is the driver behind this preparation. We have had a problem with Power steering fluid leaking , we think we found were it was coming from last night ,I will get the part and see if the switch is the problem.
Up on the stands and and ready to be cleaned underneath, wheels to be fully cleaned and detailed and full clean up and detail under the car. We have two weeks to get it done before the Supercheap Sausage Sizzle day. I will keep this up to date as we progress with the work.
Snort performance Stage II Turbo and Water to Air Intercooler kit. Good to 380kw on a standard motor. But my motor is no were near standard......

Lookout stop
Birds of prey in the mist.
Chef Neil cooked up a storm as usual. beef and pork rissoles, chicken salad, pasta salad, lettuce and tomato salad and a drink all for $5. And the club still made a small profit.
