Hey Steve,I hadn't heard of that bendy stuff either, hell,what a sheltered up bringing I've had down under. And yes Charlie and Steve, the same place where all the heavy grade metallic flake is to be found in the world, Steve's place in the UK. or Langys Hot Rod Shop.

Got the last piece of floor glassed in last night, just need to flip body over and glass in underneath and its done.








My 58 Fairlane grille arrived so i picked it up from Paul hobby (thanks Paul) and like any good hotrodder i had to get it fitted
This was the grille they used back in the 60's and i was dead pleased to get one.








Back in the day they cut a larger grille opening to allow more air to the radiator so first thing to do was to open up the grille hole.








Most of the grille got cut off as the Fairlane is a much bigger car, the grille is held to the front panel with some ground down coachbolts, the heads were ground down and given a polish.
holes were drilled and filed square for the bolts to register in.

We have that bendy ply here too..I used it on Dave Kindbergs Lincoln Zephyr S/Delivery floor,or actually,the rear half of the floor,for the same reason Steve uses it..I had to build up over the chassis rails,,and it was the easiest way of doing it..Absolutely brilliant idea..Cost me about $75 NZ for the 8mm sheet,and it came down from your back yard,Whipster..Well,south Auckland,anyway..
