Even the paint, they do not make the same pigments as lead is no longer used, so I doubt any of the cars are even the right colour.

I actually have a 10 litre original metal container of Dulon HK Picardy Red paint dated 8/68. Its all in there and still in good condition. We've stirred it a few times and Pete from Classic & Muscle has used it for a shade reference.

Anyone want to paint a HK Monaro in 1968 lead based Picardy Red paint and enter it in Concours?

---

nah, not interested
would have to be E type or it wont be original
A type is too new & wasnt introduced till 1983 (maan that ud be even worse than putn ht carpet in a hk! larfn my saggie titties off)
then AAA came in after that

I think I've still got a litre of A type with some rusty bits in it, should work. Anyway acrylic thinners doesn't have any lead in it so you should be right to use it as long as it's not yellowish and cheap (thats gunwash). lacquer thinner is primarily toluene, with betanone (MEK), some MIK, methanol, acetone and some other stuff

right from the start, i was only hilighting the fact that the carpet was wrong model & colour. if it was black hk carpet to match console i woulnt have made a sound.
i would like to check th judging sheets for last 3 nats to see whether it lost points for that. surely if it did he would have changed it b4 ballarat , or at least by warwick that is my whole point from th start

But placing black carpet would be as wrong as any wrong coloured carpet. Just because it would match the console makes no difference.

If Nick, Paul and every other entrant was shown on their judging sheet what was wrong with their car is a great idea. Then they can find the parts and change them.

What happens though if they cannot find the parts. So lets take this example, if Nick's carpet is wrong and he has been told say at Loxton. He looks for 4 years and still cannot find any beige carpet. Then you would still be complaining.

If he put blue or red HK carpet in would this be better than simular shade HT carpet? I would say put in the simular shade myself.

In my opinion black carpet in his car would look like he made no effort to secure the right carpet. Both would be wrong and would draw the IDENTICAL response from the judges.

You whole gripe is that he has a different wrong to you (you suggest black carpet fix). But they are both wrong. You measure degrees of wrong, there are no degrees of wrong in concours.

Geez, I dunno if that's tongue in cheek or not (hoping it is!), because you'd have no entrants at all for the next nationals!

Cheers,

Warren I think that is a great idea.

I would like to know what needs attention on my car as well, then i have 2 years to rectify.

If however parts are no longer available then in NOS form and /or repo parts are yet to be done this should be taken into consideration

Carpe Diem

Tongue in cheek fellas.

Just to help out a noob, what does a judging sheet look like? Would it assist owners assess their own vehicles and steer them to rectify errors?

As an example, my 2nd type Pagewood car has suffered the usual disinterest from previous owners so has such things as an internal regulated Alternator, missing spare wheel bolt and nut, battery cables re-routed and shortened for clamp type terminal poits and parts store HT leads. How can i obtain info on what needs attention and most importantly, what parts to replace with?

If you're looking for the genuine real deal alternator, then James has one of those with the correct pulley,fan, sticker and backing. I don't have his phone number handy, but he is a great guy to deal with.
Dirty Davo from Bellarineclassicautos there in 2/56 Sun street,
Moolap ph 0412109239 is another must have phone number.
Simon Pinnegar from the 69cult down in Adelaide does a lot of parts restoration work, and he is well known for his eye to detail.
And to round it off, a special man named Doug Welfare, also known as Doug the monaro man. ph 0431000327 from the border towns of Albury/Wodonga.
All 4 of these people are well known to the HKTG fraternity. If they can't help you with what you're looking for, then the car you own is'nt a KTG. Someone please provide James and Simons phone numbers for the man. Good luck!
Regards, Erik.. (tell em' Erik sent ya)
