Hello, I live in Australia, did live in New Zealand for the first half of my life. Enjoy all sorts of rods and customs and have had a few over the years and enjoy the sport of old cars. Currently have a 33 Ford roadster on the road and working on a 64 Dodge 4 door, and gathering parts for an A Roadster. Look forward to seeing what goes on around here and have some contacts here already from another site. Cheers, John
Vic asked for some pics, this is the Dodge, runs a warm 360, I bought this with a mate of mine so he would have a car to drive in when we go cruising, we have rebuilt the engine, drive shaft and a few other things along the way, it still has a vibration so next is a new Torque converter to see if that takes it out, the car only has 103,000 miles on it, we bought it to do a lady a favour whoose husband had just died, I think we paid too much for it really but at least it helped her out of a car ahe would never do anything with and someone else might have tried to rip her off, the husbands dad was there at the time and they were more than happy with what we offered them. WE are the 3rd owners of the Dodge if what we have found out about the car is correct. Vic it will be for sale as soon as it is finished if you have any mates who might be interested in it. My 33 roadster, dedicated Propane car and runs a BBC, the roof folds down and slide away into the trunk area. Parked next to one of my mates who was around home with his F100 which came out of Texas. That's not me in the drivers seat but a friends grandson from Kamloops in Canada, this is how we normaly have it because my wife can't get sunburn since she was crook a while ago. Now I have the A on the way I am thinking of selling the 33, it does have a lot of very rare parts in it as well, like a finned alloy sump (engine pan) which is not avaiable for Big Blocks along with a lot of custom made equipment as well. The A is still in the build stage which is getting an FE engine. Thanks for the welcome guys.
Welcome John Cars look almost as good as the Canadian ones, you will have a good time here. Sit back and start reading Kelly
