The Doc's Dub (56k will hate this!)

Doctor · 2009-09-20T15:38:00+00:00

So, given the fact that i bought the Dub off a Fellow forum member, and i have since buying it encountered a few members in the real world, i figured i would post a build thread... Being a Photographer, the first post in the thread will be very Pic Heavy... I have a build thread on another forum, so i will post the relevant bits on here... For a more in depth look at what ive done up to here, visit this link... http://forums.eurocca.net/showthread.php?t=34760 That gives a bit of background around the build too... But enough of that, a few pics of where it started, and where its at now... My first Square On the Trailer for the ride home Where it sat for the rebuild Big bonus in the back, with my sisters brake specialist doing his inspection Interior before pickup After the interior was emptied (No shots of it chockas on the drive back) Gauge Collection Scored these off Ebay, fuggin heavy, but worth it... On the road... Kind of, first drive... Stripping the bonnet back Officially on the road... New pedal Rubbers... Sticker on the rear window... Stickers for the dash... Bit of brass love... Bit bored one night... New seatbelts went in... Interior almost finished... As it sits now... And a pic of what it came from in Matt's Backyard.... Now, onto where its going... Lowering is my next step, the exhaust will be changed for this, it scrapes on EVERYTHING as it is... will get a setup similar to another forum members, and the bonnet will be getting finished, finding bog in the nose im not sure what im going to do, i was originally going to take it back to bare metal and let it surface rust for that Rat Rod look, but finding bog its not quite going to work that way! I have found some paint that gives that rust look very easily, so i think ill end up going that route... I have a pair of spotlights for the front of it too, just need to get an auto elec to go over the electrics and wire them in... Im also looking into converting the spotlights into HID for a bit of extra light! The rims will be powdercoated red asap as well Once a few little "Natural Ventilation Holes" are fixed, i will put a stereo in it too...

Caught up with a few boys last night so dragged the cars out for a few photos...

I learnt a bit from this, battling with looooooooooooong shadow's and slowly diminishing light, as well as getting my head around a new camera body, I have a few ideas for the next one...

I need to make this one a bit bigger!

Thats it for now... not entirely happy with the other stuff i got! The next time i do this, ill be better organised, have a better location, more controllable lighting and park the cars better!

Not bad for a slapped together and rushed thing, but its not bad....

Well if you need a 5th Adelaide Type 3, then I could come along!

Would show off how low all of your cars are to have a stock-height one in the frame!

Cheers, The shifter is fine as long as you dont use it by grabbing the top of it... The tow truck driver did that.... and Fucked it.... I needed to remove the ash tray to get first though.... ah well.... shit happens!

ah, wouldnt you grush your hand by using the top...?

maybe think about getting a shorter shift rod, or change the angle, is it straight?

Yeah, you would smack your hand on the dash if you use it on the top, i have been considering bending the shaft cos it is straight, i have a spare on here that ill look into doing something with. Ive also thought about putting a bus shifter on it so its even longer... decisions decisions....
