new on the H.A.M.B. from Australia.

Hi, new here on the forum, although I've been looking at it for a couple of years now.
Been a hot rodder since the seventies, started with a 1948 ford mercury ute at the Australian street rod nationals in 1977, sold it in 1983 to finance a house, haven't got a clue as to where it is now although I'm su****ious that it might have gone to America some years ago.
Starting to build a 1938 willys panel van now from a derelict "holden" bodied ute.
I am an experienced metal man so am looking forward to creating the van body, will have to make new rear quarter panels as well as the roof and side panels.
Happy New Year to you all.

 

welcome to site, good luck with build

 

I'd love to see pictures!
