Rob_Mitchell Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 All hoses are getting changed to red Rob. I'm just waiting on Kevin sorting the new hoses out. Once the bay is painted in candy red they'll blend in very nicely. oh sorry i thought he was keeping the bay black dude. my bad ha ha. nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 IMO I don't think bright red hoses will look right with a candy red 'bay. Much better black IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 But it does look fantastic now, much better! (not that it looked bad before, just a bit cluttered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If it needs a good tidy up happy I didn't follow up my interest in it months ago. Hope all makes it a better looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) If it needs a good tidy up happy I didn't follow up my interest in it months ago. Hope all makes it a better looking car. It's a truly amazing car Ricky for sure. It's been built for the Drag strip so everything was viable and accessible easily incase there was issues. All I'm doing it bringing the car up to date and stripping some of the unwanted stuff out. I'm pleased you didn't buy it if im honest, you've got plenty of big powered cars down south, and most importantly I wouldn't have had the opportunity to work on such an iconic car as this. I just hope Kevin decides not to sell. Edited October 19, 2011 by hodge (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 John the difference in them before & after shots are just truly staggering, you got a seriously good talent! Should we re-name you to Hodge The Magician? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 John the difference in them before & after shots are just truly staggering, you got a seriously good talent! Should we re-name you to Hodge The Magician? Lol I really enjoy doing it to be honest. Every car is different, so it's a challenge working out where everything's going to go and what can be cut out. Think I've found my vocation lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I can't see any difference in the before and after shots, can you mark up the pictures to show what you've done? ....just kidding, fantastic work dude, real transformation. You don't think of the engine bays as that messy really until you see what you do with them. Top job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
