Same as the law about beating your wife & kids, keep left pass right, pay your TV license, listening to deep house, changing your car's colour (without notification), or pushing a shopping trolley while talking on a cellphone.

Truth is I don't know Wobilz - why don't you research it for us and let us know.

What's for sure is, down in durbz if its not part of the original design and left the factory that way, ITS ILLEGAL! So says "project 1/4 mile" but I guess if the car has roll bars, and exits and safety features it will pass, cover all bases regaurding the cor and safety on the road (which you should anyway) and I don't think you would have a problem. Engine must be covered, I think mud flaps are compulsory, seat belts and working and visible lighting.

Get the car cor'd and then make the cops prove that its not some exotic lol.

And carry a copy with you, although many treffiks aren't open to being persuaded unless it involves some green.....

I still maintain if you don't behave like a twat and draw attention, for the most part you'll be OK.

durbs cops love pulling over old cars especially, and the local treffik police love having blocks on my road, so i guess i can never think of building and driving anything resembling a rod.

Just shot base & 3 coats of clear.

I'll let this sit for a week or two before cutting back & spraying the satin clear.
Will get busy with wiring etc in the meantime

Here's one of the headlight buckets which kept me busy for so long - need to get my spinning lathe running!!
I found some 37 Chev lights in PTA which Blitz kindly picked up & shipped for me - unfortunately they didn't have the bullet shape I wanted (must be pick-up not car) so I had to make these. The other ones will go on one of my other projects
