With Ash, I was concerned about the phone connection and it would be the right thing to do, is go in person and drink his Australian beer and maybe some shark fishing while we wait for paint to dry.
Ash;20435 said:Nice, I like a good build thread. I'll be sure to have a read!
Here's one with some more info on mine. I joined up on the same forum as it's kind of hard to find any info on our Aussie trucks. There's some helpful people there!

How long till you put colour down, is it just a matter of when Barry releases the new stuff or do you have more work to do before hand?
I'm going to construct a bit of a home booth to do mine in. I'm almost finished building a rotisserie for the Mustang, still lots to do there. When I can see in sight a few weeks where the truck can sit still while I paint it, that's when I'll dive on into it.
I see you have a lot of leaves around, have they been an issue while painting? We get a lot of dust when the weather is dry and a lot of moisture when its not. Plus I work with wood at home so I really need a bit of a sealed off area where I can set the atmosphere a bit.
The day after we moved into our rental in Manly, my wife killed a nasty looking spider (she's not fond of spiders but isn't crazy afraid of them). It was months later we learned it was probably a funnel web. I understand the little buggers are milked and anti-venom is available so no one has died from a bite since 1981.Ash;20524 said:Our spiders here are about that big. Just kidding, haha!!
