    Long time viewer, first time poster.

    Thought I'd let you guys know I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Young, about 23 with a serious p***ion and obsession for flat black anything's on the ground.

    I'll also make mention I know Tim, from Ohio (Grumpy as his name) and purchased his 60's Apache from him. Pic attached.

    So anyway, hello guys, and girls.

    Regards to one and all.

    Dan.

    Thanks guys.

    It's here and it's been a long time coming.

    Got it off the boat, only to be told by the AQIS inspector (who looked under the truck) that the tailshaft had come loose. When of the caps was loose on the uni and it had come off from transit.

    $15 dollars later and 10 minutes of my time, it was no drama. Charged the battery, shot some cleaner into the carby, fired straight up and ran perfectly.

    Drove it home last Saturday in 1st, 2nd and partially a 3rd gear as the tailshaft had dropped ALL of the ****** fluid. 500ml later and it was perfect.

    I've attached some pics for a better view.

    Hope you guys like it!

    Dan.

  21. Looks like you've got a bad case of colour blindness "kid"! Unless the flat black's the tyres you're talking about......

    Welcome from Minnesota. I have been to your fine town several times to enjoy the car stuff. You have lots going on down under. I am surprised at the ton of American cars that are imported there as well.
