ozbilt's California MG TC build

[ozbilt]

Was I the only one that went PHHHAAAAAARRRRRKKKKK when I saw the picture of the nose of the guard cut off?

Obviously you have not been at the Duggo ranch when I am cutting up someone's pride & joy Mustang .......

Or been around in the day when he was cutting the roof out of GT Falcons to fit the roll cage (if I recall the story correctly).

No, ass about. Cut the roof off a P3 to remove the roll bar. Then one off a Fairmont that had a factory sunroof. Yellow Glow P3 that ran in the 71 Bathurst. #69E Trevor Meehan. He used it as a road car after the ATCC of the following year (when I cut it up), then I guess it was sold as a low mileage GTHO ...... :rotfl:

Thanks for clearing that up for me mate. Maybe I was busy at the sandblasting cabinet when I first heard the story and it didn't sink in correctly. Well that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

Damn straight...I remember you saying "I hope I can put this back together again..." my heart skipped a beat after you said that!

Hijack... Lee, did your photographer use artificial lighting for the Avatar shot and the rest of the shoot?

Nahh, that must have been your mind playing tricks. So unlike me to say such a thing ......

30 hours bonnet fitment and that was an "easy one"! Wow.

Nice work, sweet car and the work environment looks pretty good too.

Yep "light painting" and diffuser boxes were used. Without the artificial light the cars end up looking quite flat and lack detail. The lads are rather skillful!

Thought so. She is an awesome colour and the lighting is sensational. Would love to see it in the flesh next time I'm in town if that's possible.

Yeh mate no worries, just pm me when you are in town
Maybe Tim will be finished and we could go for a cruise

Well, dispite my request, our annual industry event does not coincide with Targa West this year,,instead it's a week earlier. This could be a blessing in disguise as I won't have to punt work commitments to attend stages and talk shit with Nassi.

See you in August Lee!
