    blower itself looks like a pruned and chromed GMC 4-71
    intake manifold and tensioner bracket look like fabricated out of steel
    some cool stuff and some iffy stuff, throttle cable for one, water pump pulley driven off one of the blower belt grooves on crank pulley for another

    There's a '70s time warp going on in your shop! The Hali's look great! Though I love the vintage 5 spokes & lettered bi plys you took off.

    Righteous rig, man!
    1st hotrodded engine I had was an early 303 olds block, 324 heads, & a whole lot-o neat name-speed parts. (Mill wasn't what it was claimed, but was *new* anyways. :) ).
    Only thing I'm not drooling over is the train mural(I just don't like murals - lots of work n talent, but still...). The white diamond-tufted interior will be absolutely just *perfect*! :D .
    Glad you got it, & are putting it back on the street.
    Marcus...

    . Thanks for the kind words, unfortunately I’m not a mural man myself, but it was done in the seventies & I don’t have the heart to do anything with them at this stage. But we will see what happens in the future :)

    While I was at the Sydney show 2 weeks ago , a guy came up to me and said he knew the car & asked for my email address. Sent me these pictures a few days later. He lived up the road from where the car was stored . These pictures are from 2020 IMG_2610.jpeg IMG_2609.jpeg

    Hello @Stogy , thank you . I have actually sold the Vicky, someone had enough cash to tempt me out of it. I haven’t done much with the C Cab, I need to find the time & energy to remove the trans, in the meantime I just purchased a’48 Pontiac which is keeping me busy. Have a great Christmas IMG_1152.jpeg
