Team Cambridge Monaro

[Steve Holmes]

Yeah tough call John, and I wouldn't have wanted to have made the decision. Under Schedule K you MIGHT have got away with it. Its a fairly minor thing, but it was the relocated fuel filler that suggested the link between the car on TM, and the Cambridge Monaro.

But, as you rightly say, you're trying to freeze the cars history to one specific point in time, and in late 1969, that car still had its fuel filler in the factory location.

John,
I remember reading this in a NZ Classic Car magazine in Dec. 2008.
"

"A Field Filler ! "

You can certainly answer that last question now.
Congratulations and please take care of her until we can have that beer under the hood !

[color="#0000CD"] * A beautiful "pair'' of cross-ram webers... * ?? did that mean two DCOE webers on an adapter on top of a 4bbl intake.... I had the impression it was four DCOE's on the likes of a proper cross-ram manifold or similar...??
Probably an over excited journo with wrong words.[/color]

Jac Mac- as always your memory is strong and correct- 4 X 45 DCOEs on a Moon cross over manifold at port Hills.
Hot Rod mag June edition said they were 55 DCOEs- same as on Norm Beecheys Monaro and Terry Allens big block Camaro.
Field filler....Hah,at least he was there and running, not a gunna

Hi John, great work. An inspiration. If you want to sell the Webers back to me, I need them for the Monza!

[Mark Fiddyment]

It looks fantastic and has come such a long way from the first photos posted. I was wondering if the front sway bar is on upside down for a specific reason as the step is usually down and on the passengers side to clear bottom radiator hose?

[John McKechnie]

Mark-
Thank you for bringing this to my attention and it will be the first thing that get done when I get the car home

Rowan -mate. Webers are like women, property and cars.........hard found and even harder kept.
I may have to use super loctite to resist temptation to remove them at any time.
They are still under my pillow rocking me off to sleep...........

Beer crate would have been full, half full, or full of emptys back in the day

[kiwi285]

When you got to this stage of a built I would imagine that it would be full of empties and there were a few not so happy campers. It would have been by the door to remind someone that it needed replenishing.

Monaro is back home at last ,resting from all the intense surgery.
Is accepting guests during normal visiting hours.
