Newbie from down under

G'day,

I've been lurking here for a fair while but only just started posting. Currently restoring a 49 Ford F3 but also have a 28 Pontiac, 29 Pontiac, 48 Pontiac, 47 Ford truck and a 67 Jeep Gladiator. Loving the info on here, will be a regular.

Cheers

 

Welcome from Indy.

 

G'Day from another Aussie.

 

G'day mate,

welcome aboard, you have great taste in utes, I have a 70 Gladiator.

Cheers

Beans

 

Thanks, I'm a ute kinda guy. I also have a 351 powered XD, an original XY 4x4, a HJ45 landcruiser with a 6.2 chevy diesel, an F6 Tornado and a GU patrol.

HotFR8, you're not far away from me, I spend a lot of time down there with the ferals.

 

The Ferals , now that is an interesting club. Do you know a guy with what looks like a 35 Ford Pickup with the V8 Cummins ? Your XY 4x4 would be a collectors item if in good condition.

 

welcome,
from another former lurker with a 29 Pontiac tourer.
cheers

 

HOTFR8, no mate, that's a new one to me. If one of the ferals owns he's been very very careful to keep it quiet. Hot rods are not welcome in the club.

The XY is a bare metal shell at the moment getting a V8 transplant. Sadly the original engine was missing when I bought it so it will never be matching numbers.

Double drat, would love to see some pics and maybe share some info with you on the 29s. Drop me a line if you like, aussiecowboy@gmail.com

 

Ask around as it has been at Chopped a few times now. he is a member of the Ferals and goes on many of the outings but the Pickup would not have been to any Ferals events.

Not really a HAMB friendly vehicle but one that has a lot of history to it being so unusual.

Where are you exactly ?

 

Welcome from New York. Looks like you got your hands full.

 

G'day from so cal...

 

welcome

 

Welcome from Tennessee .

 

Thanks for the welcome all. HOTFR8, I'm up in Echuca.

 

OK, Missed the event up that way recently. Will you be going to Yarrawonga ?

 

Welcome effy lover here too.

 

Welcome from Florida! Do your bolts thread to the right down there?

 

ha ha, thankfully yes as most of my cars are American!

Won't be at Yarrawonga sadly, my job keeps me away from home a lot.

 

Nah it's only those brittish cars that had the LH threads on the LH side of the car .

This is GM and Ford country but I was hearing the other day a Nissan is about to enter our V8 super car series

 

God help us if it wins! We have to do something though, Commodore only has a few years left before GM phases it out and Falcon not far behind. When they start racing Prius' and Volts around Bathurst though I'm giving motorsport up for good.

 

Howdy, and welcome from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

 

some real ole pontiacs, i love to see 'em! Welcomed by a 42 Ponch' from half across the earthball!
