Falcon,the Jag is becoming a hard one to find down here now,most of them got the SBC/auto conversion a long time ago,except for the pristine examples,which are still jealously guarded by their owners,to stop hotrodders getting them..most of them in junk yards are now minus IFS[for F100 conversions]and IRS[for hotrod rears]

The s kool bus is an ex Education board Bedford,I am told,with the Ford panels grafted on..

heres a few more..first up, a couple for Stovens..

The owner of this pickup is the daughter of one of our older Auckland rodders,poor child,never had a chance..thats what happens when ya cruise with ya folks in a A tourer as a young un..

Any California residents remember Golly Adams gasser??

No kidding guys.It goes..






Thats a 426 Hemi in there,street driven,built in the late 70s..

Sweet! I'm inspired, not why won't the weather cooperate!
Those are some highly polished F1's. Thanks for the pics!

I thought you would like those Steve..the pale blue one has been full circle,from a truck that won peoples choice at Kumeu some years ago,to a matt black piglet being thrashed around West Auckland,and now in the hands of a new owner..and back to square one...in the show again..

I really like the dark blue color!

Giving you ideas is it??Check out the dark blue that was used on the Ford Probes back in the day..cant remember the name..a friend up the road has his 69 Mustang repainted in that particular shade..nice color,looks like it belongs.
Hotrodpaint might have the name/formula for it..

Thanks. I haven't decided 100% yet, but am leaning towards Candy Apple red. Summit sells paint that was featured in Hot Rodder as a good quality easy to use, and they have candy apple red. I figure I'll paint a fender and see how it goes! If it looks decent, then I'll do the whole truck! If not, I'll save up the pennies and have it done by a pro!
