    G'Day,

    Ryan has been onto me for some time to come over here from one of his other forums the Garage Journal. I have to say I was a little hesitant as some of you may not accept some of my ideas here.

    I am a member of Castlemaine Rods Inc. and do know a few here.

    These are the vehicles I own.
    1966 XP Falcon - Windsor V8 swap.
    [​IMG]
    1923 T Roadster - Inline Falcon six and five speed manual.
    [​IMG]
    1948 F4 Freighter - 6BT 5.9 Litre ***mins Diesel and LPG (Propane).
    [​IMG]
    A lot of the build of the F4 can be found on the Garage Journal -

    Wing on a roof :confused: have seen one going on a Hot Rodded Mack and well ok....... If you reckon my wings are bad you would be sick to see the Mack and how it well I best not say. On the Subject of Macks there is a place here in Castlemaine that restores them to perfection.

    Thank you, my color scheme is well known. All guys I know personaly. Rob Carroll has just gone out as DLRA President not long ago.

    Connecticut is the part of the USA I would live if I moved to the USA. I have a lot of friends in that part of the world. Thanks all for the welcome. Beer time is any time when visitors call here. Unless it is Tea or Coffee. :)

    A couple of things with the wing, it creates comments like yours
    :p;):D:rolleyes: and secondly it hides small LED's that have brake, tail lights, indicators and reverse lights.

    We do not have a chromeplaters :(

    Yes.

    Thank you.

    G'Day Steve, thanks for the welcome. As for facebook (waste of time in my books) would you believe some one opened an online address book to create all that drama.

    Thanks Dennis, Seasons Greatings.
     
  22. So you finally took the leap aye.
    A bit scary here at first but they
    are just a bunch of pussies really.

    Hi Laura. Thanks for the welcome.

    It is not
    "he who die with the most Toys Win."
    but
    "he who has the most fun playing with them Wins."
