It wouldn't be too hard to shape a flare from a flat piece of sheet. It would just take time.

You will need a leather bag filled with steel shot or similar and a pear shaped mallet to get most of the shaping done. Then a domed dolly on a stand and a plenishing hammer to get out any marks. It can then be finished with a panel file. No welding required.

Its a very similar process to flaring the original guard, but heaps slower.

All good Nick.

Only two places left if we keep it at 12 cars.

It would be good to be able to stop for an hour for lunch to get a chance to relax and talk a bit.

Still a few dyno spots left. Surely we can pry a few more Datsuns out of sheds!

I just thought a few might like to meet up in Melb and drive up at the same time. I wasn't thinking of a separate cruise. I`ll let you guys organise any meet up times and places. It might be easier to just get here when you can separately, but I`ll leave that up to you guys.

I`m also thinking of just getting pizzas and cans of drink for lunch. My BBQ wont be big enough!

Great work Crumb! should be a bit of fun. What engine is in the coupe? I`ll put you on the list.

Yeah, can do Porsche.

Be great to see both cars guys, see how you go. I`ll put you down, just let me know if you cant bring either car so someone else can have have a run.

We will probably be limited to about 12 to 15 cars on the dyno as it takes a few minutes to change them over.

If people can start to get here from 930am. This will give us the best chance to get every one dyno`d by a reasonable time.

I still have some bits for you Ivan. Ive been meaning to get back to Bendigo to drop them off.

Mic, I wouldnt want children in the dyno room and there will be cars moving around a bit.
However, there is the contained side yard with enough things to keep them entertained for a little while.
I was thinking of having a fire drum in there if cool tho.

Hi all,

I have a spare day on Saturday June 1. I thought some of you may be interested in a cruise, Dyno and BBQ day?

I wont have time for tuning, but will log AFR`s and MAP.

Cost will be $5 each just to cover food and drink costs. Add $10 if you are doing the dyno runs aswell.

Let me know if you will be able to make it, and what car/engine combo you will be running on the dyno so I can put you on the list and get an idea for catering.


Cheers,
Simon
