    Nice work as always Kev
     
  2. Excellent work as usual, you have a knack of building in just the right look
     
  3. I like the painted wheels look but after a couple of years got a little bored. In the shade or at night I thought it looked kind of dreary so I added beauty rings.

  4. A couple of pics showing the radiator cross over to connect the Y block to my $35 swap meet radiator. It is just a piece of 2”x1” rectangular tubing with a hose connection on each end and something to bolt it to a couple of oil pan bolts. I welded a pipe thread bung in the bottom so I can drain the cooling system.

    Truck has been a good work horse. I like the look of a shortened bed but it is too handy as is.

    @Kiwi Kev I don't know if it is what they teach in NZ school's? but you Kiwi's have a wonderful ability to think outside the square & solve problems in very creative ways!
    Love your work & approach to things :D

  7. Thanks mate. Probably not the schools, I wasn’t paying too much attention.

    was the first one to show me how cool it was to cruise around in a chopped hot rod as a driver

    some on slicks

    Willy’s Gasser to pick the kids up from school

    surf board on top of his model a coupe at Fairgrounds beach

    driving to Paso Bako All the Shifters’s shows

    Woody Wagon Main Street ventura.

    LA roadster show.
    Wheelies in his street cars.
    Not bad
