My name is Andrew. Kiwi born and bread. Been in australia 22 years. At the age of 44 ive never owned a car that so new that it was made without points in the ignition. My current daily driver is a 57 chev wagon never restord mostly origanal paint except where its worn off which is the tops of all panels. The only mod is an alternator. That only happend because the gen died and i got sick of recharging the battry. My other regular driver is a 66 falcon ute with a 250 2v motor. It also looks its age. Getting built in my shed is a 30 a coupe 4 1/2 chop on a genuine 32 chassis, 312 yblock factory ford duel fours, top loader with a jeep shifter early 9" split wish bones front and rear, 40 dash. I hate modern crap in old cars. If you want modern crap get a modern car. dont stuff up an old car. But if you need to fix it, fix it faster! I love the site been looking at it for years, thought it time i join in the action
Nice rides, and I agree with your analogy.....welcome from Southern America. Regarding your Y-block, I was just in Columbus Ohio at the Y block shootout over Labor Day weekend. Some fast Y blocks and very cool 50's era Fords and Mercs. I need to post some pics. Welcome to the HAMB. Brad Outlaw ________________ It ain't really yours if you didn't build it!
