    Gidday Guys,
    I have been looking on here for quite some time and thought it is about time I sign up.
    I live in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.
    I am 58 years old and been into cars most of my life. My father was a motor machanic and so was my oldest brother. I never followed in their footsteps but have always played around with old cars.
    I currently have a 30 model A roadster with a twin carb'ed flathead, that has been on the road just over 4 years. I also have a 51 Chev sedan, which is a bit of a custom, with 59 Chev six and auto. This car was sold in Oz new and I have owned it for 20 years. Currently I am building a 31 closed cab Model A pick-up with 289 and C4.
    Regards, Rocky.

    Hey Rocky

    Long time no see.

    I remember when we used to discuss our respective Chevs - you and your 51, me and my green 54 more-door both with 235's, getting together with Phil McNally and the Raines et al. Good times back then.
