thanks, there is a bit of orange peel to flatten but yes you could polish and be done with it.

Looks good! The feeling of a freshly painted bare body, ready for assembly!

Cheers, it was fully assembled previously so it shouldn’t take too long to put back together.

Re: 265 Hemi to efi
Cheers, Time goes so fast these days I didn’t realise how long it’s been since I last posted something. The utes been finished and fully assembled and I will post some pics soon. I waited for so long for the dyno tuner to be ready and then when I got there the other week we realised that the turbine wheel was damaged as it looked like small stones or something had gotten through the air cleaner assembly which sits behind the grill. So that’s at the turbo shop being replaced. One positive from this mission is that I worked out the problem with the Crane CDI that gave me so many problems last year. It was the factory Holden battery positive connection that I hooked the units main power into. Due to old and dodgy crimp It let enough voltage through to light up the power on indicator but not enough to trigger the ignition. I should have known as I had a similar problem with a MSD many years back. As soon as I connected the power feed directly to the battery post connector I started getting it to trigger. Fark me how many hours of my life did that mistake cost me!

Not the greatest angles but here’s a couple of pics, not sure why the second pic is sideways but if you click into it, it straightens up
