Fair dinkum, Klaus, that Panel looks dead sexy.
I just love the red hatch and engine lid and the Bay wheels up front and wid-5 up the back make it look totally horn IMO.
I'm a big fan.
Dutchy is right.
Panels are the hotrods of the Splitty world.
Cheers & God Bless

thanks lads , more i drive it the more i like it (except for when it brakes down or i pull the engine out for the 5th time) forgot that I've done the cab divider door trims and roof lining in the front so much quieter, and done the drop spindle install and fixed roof leaking problem. Have to thank 66NIK for templates.

I like to build cars to use and abuse , nothing wrong with pristine ones but I dont want to be stressing about dents n scratches. Having said that the dc might be cleaner than first planned.

then took it down to the farm good trip except for a short in the choke wiring , needs a little more power to make it fun up hills .
bogged and blended doglegs and lower front doors , but yeah all good looking at sorting some rims and discs for the back and big cc motor.
and either steering rack conversion or raising steering box.
luv driving it.. amazing how much attention an old shit box can attract too.
Love your quote Klaus " amazing how much attention an old shit box can attract"

That's because your panel looks so knarly and hot
