Aussie Restos sheet metal 40 series panels

Post by TWISTY »

Thought I'd throw up some pics of the side panels I had made by Mick at Aussie Restos for my BJ42 project. Mick does standard replacement panels for 40s, but I hit him up to see if he could make some 1 offs to suit my 300mm chassis extension. Pretty stoked how well they turned out, specially with all the factory radius's, folds etc. We also opened up the tyre opeing to suit a 37 tyre and rasised the height of it. Sill height has also been lifted 75mm.

Panel is just sitting roughly in position. Full rear tub construction should be finished before christmas.

Nah, his shed is setup that he could, but he has a workshop somewhere on the sunny that makes them. Took about 3 weeks to have the custom ones built.
