Yeah, just seems pretty low for a Gen8
Just air seals and an o-ring change on a stock Gen8 would be in the 270-280 range.
With an aftermarket piston, cylinder head/nozzle, 1.18 AUSGEL spring, ChiHai Red motor and 7.5 alloy barrelā¦ā¦. 350+ was always a good average result.
Still running around a week and 3 days after leaving the workshop, to pick up 2 Hot Rods from the Panel/Painters, and chasing up almost a hundred hard to get parts from several different suppliers hundreds of kilometres apart in the old EK Wagon
Stopped for 5 minutes to have a frothy pint before continuing onto the next job
HOPEFULLY will be able to actually get back to work in the next couple of days, unless I get more phone calls to run around and pick up something else
The poor old Wagon is on its 6th tank of fuel and fully loaded with parts
One of two customers vehicles that I picked up from the panel/painters to get back to the workshop to finish building.
1954 F1 Ford, 393 Stroker, Twin Tunnel Ram, 1000HP gearbox, Tru-Trac 9ā, Mustang II independent front end, custom interior etc. etc. Gonna be a beautiful vehicle when we are finished with it
Yep I know but around Bundy they donāt get much bigger. One fella who helps us out from time to time worked the mines for 13 years and did those big ones.
Thanks unfortunately itās another industry in desperate need of workers but no one willing to do it.
