Greetings from New Zealand
Thank-you Brent Mills for the welcome. I have been lurking around C.H.R. for some time, & have been very impressed by the people who subscribe to it. There is a wealth of knowledge/ expertise out there very generously shared by people who don't mind giving up their time to help others. I hope I can fit in, & not leave you thinking too poorly of kiwi rodders.
Our rides: 1966 A.C.Cobra replica, [Berry kit], Holden Torano ifs, 429 Ford, C6 auto, Jaguar XJ6 irs. Been owned/driven by us for 12/13 years. Also a 1947 Ford sedan, XJ6 ifs/irs, 350 Oldsmobile motor & box, [Hey!-it was under the bench OK?] Been on the road about 18 months, still a "work in progress". But then no work of art is ever really finished.
That hasn't stopped us eyeing up our next project, a1949 Ford bonus twin-cab. Yes I know Henry never built one, but that won't stop me from trying to!
Cheers.

Thanks Mike and Dave. Thinking about it, it would be a bit premature to call the Bonus a project yet, all it consists of is two cabs, a bonnet, a grille shell and two 200 litre drums full of dreams.

Sounds like a project to me!!! Sometimes half the battle is just locating the right pieces. Dreaming, sheming, and conniving is what separates us from the "normal" folk who use bolt ons!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
