No, they were sourced elsewhere before yours. Your ones are currently on the 60 single cab to keep it mobile.Donovan D wrote:Great work Sean !
Need to come have a look and chat before I spray the oval.
Are those wheels the ones you got from me ??

Re: 75 Fleetline Single Cab
The only progress so far was to build the new wide load bed completely. The old one was too far rusted.Cogita wrote:Hows this singlecab coming along?
Then I got side tracked by other busses and Autovillas etc......
I will get back into this one soon.

Re: 75 Fleetline Single Cab
Seems i'm going to be back on track now. In the interim, i've had the gearbox overhauled and sprayed it. I've also rebuild the front suspension.

Re: 75 Fleetline Single Cab
And now the colour. I'v flatted it since applying the colour last month and going to be using a spray painters booth across the road from my factory next month to apply the final top coat in a dust free enviroment and bake it afterwards in the heated booth.

Re: 75 Fleetline Single Cab
Ok, so I see on the previous page my goal was to be finished for George 2015, well its now 2017 and 3 weeks to go before George.
I must get it done before then, so this project is back in full swing with a very short amount of time left.
The final outside topcoat we sprayed on Saturday in the booth to get a better finish and it came out quite nice.
With that being done I started finishing up the underneath. I was able to get all the brake lines installed, new wiring and most of the suspension components completed. I have also finished assembling the motor ancillaries and to be installed in the single cab.

Re: 75 Fleetline Single Cab
With the cab being out the way, the focus is now on the loadbed. I pretty much had to remake the drop gates, but I was able to re-use the frame inserts. I sprayed them in primer this evening, so I will be able to hopefully apply the top coat next week.
