Damn Bryan, you are international now

Start to finish is quite a trip, thanks that was cool! Rags

 

Ask him if he'll send you a Vegimite sandwich. http://www.vegemite.com.au/

"I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Mmmm. Beer....Chunder- bad. [From Peter McCarthy, Australia: “A common Australian euphemism for vomit is chunder, as you undoubtedly know."]

Maybe it will be renamed the "Space Chunder"...it is close in color...

 

Vegimite is the most god of awl tasting "jam" EVER!

Just needed to get that off my chest.


P.S. the herp is as bad-ass as any std.

 

Cool ride.

 

That fleetline in those pics looks familiar....

 

Ha Ha...DirtyT...International Kustom Hot Rod builder!!!

(Shows ya just how far herpies can really spead these days!! )

Maybe the car will be used in some trippy Mad Max sequel or something now?!?

 

Polytoxic try vegimite on toast with just a thin smire and cheese you will find it won,t be to bad I agree with you if it is to thick it dose tast like shit

 

I thought vegimite was supposed to taste like it had already been digested once?

 

It,s supposed to tast like sump oil
Update on space Herpie I pulled the raidator out yesterday and sent it of to get fixed it is getting a desoto grill and I am trying to talk the owner in to doing the roof candy tangerine with some fish scales or what ever takes my fancy on the day

 

Man i really like the whole time line thing with all the pics . Thanks for sharing, i'm going through the same thing with my truck.

 

sweet post man

 

Cragar, sounds like you're doing all the work on the car for your friend...is he not a 'car guy' ?

What year Desoto? Make sure you keep us updated with pics of the grill when you do it! Sounds cool.

 

He is, runs his own business as an auto elec. So he know's his way round a car. But let him and Cragar loose on a car and lookout! Very dangerous...

Craig whats he doing with that grille he's pulling out?

Always liked that car, interesting that it has a new home on the other end of the world. I never got the idea behind the welded up rear fenders, that shit would drive me nuts!
