I`m with you Dan,wishing i had one too.
Must have a lot of little indians up your way 57 panel :blush :P

57 Panel · 14 May 2005, 8:38 pm

To answer your question Goony-goonoo the pins are spot welded onto the panel and a slide hammer attaches to the pin and pulls out the dent. Very handy when you can't get a hammer and dolly in there. Here's a pic.

goony-goonoo · 14 May 2005, 9:15 pm

Thanks mate,looks like some quality wokmanship going on here carnt wait to see her finished

57 Panel · 14 May 2005, 9:22 pm

Either can I. I've got a long way to go.

goony-goonoo · 14 May 2005, 9:30 pm

are you going to keep the original pmg style

57 Panel · 14 May 2005, 9:35 pm

No. I don't like the red. I know the colours I'm painting it. I also have a 57 Panelvan that was owned by shell. I'm thinking a doing that one back to original.

Hey, the stinger thing. Can you tell me what they are called? i want one and didn't think they made em anymore. I have typed it into eBay, but nada.

Ute's rockin mate.

57 Panel · 31 Mar 2007, 7:33 am

Their hard to find. Anyone that has one will probably not want to part with it. There are other systems out there but they cost $2000 for a cheap one and go up from there.

I've spent the last few weeks stripping the underside of everything that can be removed and trying to get all the dirt out of the chassis. The next thing I have to do is to buy the repair panels. While I'm waiting for them I'm going to start on the gates.

57 Panel · 17 Apr 2007, 7:28 pm

I also replaced the rubber rollers in the spit with sealed bearings inside steel pipe. It spins so easily I think I'll have to fit a locking pin to stop it turning while I'm working on it. The spit cost about $350 to make and I recommend anyone who has the space and is doing a full resto to build or get one. I actually enjoyed making it as much as working on the bus.

57 Panel · 27 Aug 2007, 9:37 pm

I've done a little more work. I've ordered all the required panels so now it's time to remove what I can in preparation for sand blasting.

57 Panel · 27 Aug 2007, 9:40 pm

one more.

57 Panel · 27 Aug 2007, 9:42 pm

And the left overs....

pete wood · 27 Aug 2007, 10:01 pm

wow, stripped out for racing!

65busser · 28 Aug 2007, 7:12 am

Nice work Adam. It's sure gonna be clean if your attention to detail is any indication. Gotta love a PMG ute.

vw54 · 28 Aug 2007, 7:34 am

nice roll over stand will the body swing right over ???

warb3 · 28 Aug 2007, 10:13 am

nice to see this one getting the treatment..

57 Panel · 28 Aug 2007, 11:58 am

The shell won't spin any further than 90 degrees. I built it like this so it is easy to fit onto the spit, takes 1 person about 2 mins with a good sized trolley jack.

Today I removed the park brake lever. With an over engineered home made G Clamp, I managed to move the pin about 1cm, cut off the other end and pry the bracket open enough to get it out. I also started to straighten up the grill on the dash.

57 Panel · 1 Sep 2007, 8:26 am

57 Panel · 1 Sep 2007, 8:27 am
