I have to admit, your attention to detail always makes my day. This Ute has become my go to every time you update a new clip and I still get impressed on the colour. Can’t wait to see it at a car show soon. Splendid work 👊👍👌
Great job Sam. The car looks amazing mate. The painted rocker covers look MINT 👌 Those Reid Speed pulley kits are the ducks guts, great Aussie 🇦🇺 made stuff. I can’t wait to see the interior when it is all finished. Great job as always 👍🏻
Dude! Never thought of fpv seats! Now I know which seats to source for my '51 mk1 zephyr on AME chassis. Btw, even in a booth it can escalate to 3 repaints, don't fret on it, quality takes time (and $$). Love your vids, keep it up.
With these Reidspeed kits available, I struggle to see why people still use gilmer drives in 2022 😅 Aussie made quality that won't flog your bearings 👌🏻 Tonner is looking phenomenal mate, bet you can't wait to get it out and about!
Agree Mate. I was rocking the Gilmer belt drive but yeah really happy with the upgrade from Reid Speed. Thanks mate. Really getting excited to getting this finished and start to enjoy it....
Definitely a good move to replace the gilmer driver with a serpentine. I'm keen to do the same on my 351 Cleveland, I'll have to check out Reid see if they can do something for me.
Awesome mate. That colour bloody pops...... Not sure I could handle f&%d seats in my Holden but they look the goods haha. Can't wait to see what the trimmer does.
After watching your seats video it's got me wanting to chuck a pair in my rodeo mini truck. Let us know how you go with getting them engineered. Cheers
Nice work as usual 👍. Mate I would be inclined to anchor my seatbelt to the floor mount as holden engineered it, only because those seats are engineered to bolt to the floor in a car with airbags. and because you have cut and modified the mounts it may cause you problems in the future if you decide to have it all engineered here in QLD. Just a though.
Thanks Mark. That might be a good point with the seatbelts. I will have to look into that a bit further. Otherwise I will just use original seat belts and mount to the cab.
looking sick mate. did u prim the covers before paint? also i reakon u should paint the intake manifold black,would make the engine look choice,just my 2cents kp it up bro
Hey Mate. nah not really. main issues I think was the installation. A few grommets need replacing from the screws too tight and the roof leaks in those areas. Also the ridge capping has gaps so leaves blow into those and come into the shed.
Why the fuck are you putting ford seats in it 🫢😱🫣😭🤬 Mate have you ever sat in hsv seats or good ss seats there are all ways someone wrecking one on market place selling cheap Iv got a nice black leather vx ss seats you can have em if you don’t put the ford seats in 🙏

Thanks Mate. Glad you are enjoying the build series. Hopefully wont be long until I can take it to a show...
Great job Sam.
The car looks amazing mate.
The painted rocker covers look MINT 👌
Those Reid Speed pulley kits are the ducks guts, great Aussie 🇦🇺 made stuff.
I can’t wait to see the interior when it is all finished. Great job as always 👍🏻
At the end of the day you will be cruising in a 1st class work of art
Looking forward to it
Keep the vids coming bro. Good to see someone learn how to build a tonner at the same time I’m learning to build one 👍🏻
Thanks! Will do!
The sound deadner put some inside your doors to Sam helps heaps, cheers KC 🍻🍺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺
Thanks for the heads up Mate. Will do
It’s looking great Sam. Be patient, you will have it looking flawless. It’s something to be proud of. 👍🏼
Thanks Buddy. WIll get there
Nice job looks good can't wait to see more
Nice colour
Seats are mint. I like the black more than the brown though. Really pops against the body colour.
Yes I was also thinking black would look awesome because of the body colour
Bro it's going to look wicked on the road can't wait to see that video 💯% quality 🙌
Thanks Mate. Im really looking forward to driving it
looking good mate !!!
Nice work mate, comming along great
Mate,it's looking sweet as with the valve covers ,painted carb and black pulley.
Great combo. 😆.. I'm going to the shed now............
Thanks Mate. Really happy with how it came up. Haha enjoy

They are really good seats Mate. These ones I sourced from an xr6 and they are pretty common. 400 for the pair.
Thanks for the video today.
Looks awesome.

Thanks Mate. Worth hitting them up.
Awesome mate. That colour bloody pops...... Not sure I could handle f&%d seats in my Holden but they look the goods haha. Can't wait to see what the trimmer does.
Thanks Damo.. Haha yeah I understand. The trimmer will change them up so may not even tell they are ford seats.
Good luck with them headlight retainers, I had to add 6mm into them to fit the light..
haha thanks. You are the second person to say that.
After watching your seats video it's got me wanting to chuck a pair in my rodeo mini truck. Let us know how you go with getting them engineered. Cheers
They are great seats Mate. They look great once they are re covered
Hi I'm a fan of the tonner have you thought about putting a panel around your bonnet latch catch from the front apron?
As in an infill panel? If yes then potentially. Im not big on them but the ones that probuilt have look pretty good

looking sick mate. did u prim the covers before paint? also i reakon u should paint the intake manifold black,would make the engine look choice,just my 2cents kp it up bro
Thanks Mate. Yeah sprayed the tappet covers with epoxy. Then rubbed back with scotch brite and base coat/clear.
Nice shirt
Hi, you've had your shed up for a while, do you have any issues with it, as in the quality of the shed?
Hey Mate. nah not really. main issues I think was the installation. A few grommets need replacing from the screws too tight and the roof leaks in those areas. Also the ridge capping has gaps so leaves blow into those and come into the shed.
Imagine how angry the world would get if you left the xr6 seats in their standard form in a Holden
Haha I could imagine. They will be getting retrimmed and the trimmer will change them up a bit to make them look less like ford seats
finish the build worry about the paint after,your bound to scratch or chip it.
Thanks Mate. I think I will do that
I still can't believe I watched 20 episodes waiting for the final paint job and you didn't even film it
Apologies but there were a couple of reasons for that.
@@ShenkeGarage I would've thought you'd want to see the footage to analyse errors or for recreating the finish
Gonna be losing mad points with ford seats in a holden
Perhaps but I don't care what people think. It's my car and my build.
@@ShenkeGarage good mindset to have mate, doesn't matter anyway since they've been reupholstered
thanks Mate. I dont think too many will notice
Why the fuck are you putting ford seats in it 🫢😱🫣😭🤬
Mate have you ever sat in hsv seats or good ss seats there are all ways someone wrecking one on market place selling cheap
Iv got a nice black leather vx ss seats you can have em if you don’t put the ford seats in 🙏
