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.

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

57 Panel - May 14th, 2005 at 09:22 PM

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

goony-goonoo - May 14th, 2005 at 09:30 PM

are you going to keep the original pmg style

57 Panel - May 14th, 2005 at 09:35 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.

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.

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.
