Default Body Work

Hi All, Still getting some time to work on the Chev but not enough.Rust repairs are always a pain but we need to do them or our toys will fall apart.Just a couple of happy snaps of the cab base being prepared for paint.Because this cab base was used on a rear and forward steer crane we had to rework the LH side wheel arch as it was bashed in to fit a seat.Hours of fun.

Default Fuel tank ?

Hi all,
Still into repair but came across a question.Why does my fuel tank have 2 fillers and one outlet.The plate inside the tank is a baffle not a divider.And some more cab repair shots etc.John Stokes

Default Fuel tank filler

The guy in the photo is a mate of mine and just so happens he has a spray painting and restoration business.When he comes around for a coffee out comes the list and he is sent to the shed.Marty seems to think the reason i was having problems with my paint being too shiny is i am using gunwash to thin it not 2K thinner we will try the proper stuff and let you know.But in the mean time if someone could let me know about the filler neck on my sig van tank it will solve the question is it a quick fill?

Will see what I can discover, John. Does it have two fuel pipes?
