QUOTE (nightcrawler @ Aug 28 2012, 04:59 PM)  never have had much luck with the old vinyl dye myself , bloody stuff seem to wear off (VHT brand) on things like door cards , sunvisors , seats . I always clean whatever really well first and it looks good for the first couple of months then it all goes to crap . mental note to self check the shed for a dash pad for Jeb yeah, it "Should" be fine as all parts were thoroughly prepped, i used the motor spray brand, the plastics came out great,not bad for a couple of hours work |

As you may or may not know. I used vinyl spray on pretty much all of my interior and it all looks good so far. The only thing I'm having problems with is the steering wheel. Obviously because im in contact with it for long periods at a time and probably because I put a quick layer of clear over it and it's a bit sticky. |

Vinyl Dye from VHT works well, if its not working for you, you're doing it wrong... |

Don't know how much luck i'll have here but i'm trying to track down my Granddads old FX sedan. He bought the car brand new, my mum grew up in it and when he passed away the car was sold to a guy that lived down the road from my Uncle at Loganlea. I'd love to find this car and get it back into the family but even if we couldn't buy it just know that its still out there cruising. |

I don't really care if people think its funny taking the piss out of my whole "period correct" deal. I couldn't give a sh!t, i like cars from an earlier time in history, and i like to use parts from that era. |

I think most people think its funny to take the piss cause you get fired up about it so easy bro . I for one love to see something a bit different and I respect anyone ( well maybe not minitruckers ) that's willing to have a go and make something that's out of the ordinaryYou can give me sh!t all you like, but be funked if i'm going to put something from a Commodore, an L300 van or a Torana into my Hot Rod. |

The thing i love about the early style cars is that they are so simple and that they remind me of a simpler time in history. |

nearly bought something very similar to that but in a darkish green years ago , it was running a 390 and auto , the old bloke who owned it had it from new and wanted $5000 for it , problem was it needed another $5000 thrown at it to make it a nice car , still I couldn't afford to run the bloody thing as it got about 5 mile to the gallon . |
