£2 Tip find Clodbuster Resto - getting there!
In the last few weeks i've finally got the old beast up & running all be it with rather vague steering! Its got quite a turn of speed with the two 19turn motors!! The latter of which caused me a fair bit of a headache as these were both fixed timing - as one has to run backwards I had to re-can that particular motor & reset a reciprical timing setting - I might return both motors to zero timing as i'm sure i'll benefit in the long run mantainence-wise?
I've built up the shell with all the new parts i've been collecting gradually on ebay & added the cleaned-up original Chevy grill & tailgate - its also now prepped ready for paint, which i'm hoping to do in the next couple of weeks.... so watch this space :-D
I also have the original shell to repair & finish roughly for 'runner' use ;-)

Nice rig DerbyDan! Seems we've been down similar roads with our clods!
DerbyDan
Thanks berman! Yeah - for the amount I have spent on this beast I could have probably brought one in good condition with a nice paintjob... But its been great fun collecting the parts & returning a once sorry looking & rejected Clod into something i'm proud of
