Wow, just goes to show how much work was in that Panel.
Brilliant panel work, FC.
Long term plans for this one? Slammed? Stroker?
Cheers & God Bless

trying to get it on the road within the next 2 months will be a blended paint finish , halfway through straight axle conversion , using 67 type 3 gbox, front end will be most likely a 69 beam with drums and adjusters fitted after rego might do the 4 inch narrowed flipped spindle job or steal the beam out of the dual cab to see how it rides also waiting on a couple of sets of ball joint drop spindles so they might get fitted up , engine at this stage is stock 1600tp out of a lowlight . Interior wise i've got a set or covers from the boys at bugs n busses for the 1 and 2/3 seats. once its on the road i'll tool around with it a bit , got a type 4 2ltr being balanced so it might get an appearance later on .
For the wheels 4 inch beetle wide 5's for the front and 4.5 ones for the back even got some stamped with 62 for the year on them and it will be dumped as much as back jaringly possible , as it will be used for work and i generally cruise around in a 50k radius.
As for you mikey going thru my back yard mmm there may be something there soon that sounds like mempo tatador..
