 Cheers mate 👍

I'm confused. What part(s) are we celebrating?

1. The daughter getting married?

2. Getting rid of the daughter - she's finally moving out of the house?

3. Able to have pictures of the wedding with the Hellcat and Caddy in them?

4. Exercising the Hellcat and Caddy on the same day without any complaints from the boss?

Hi Russel 👍

no up date really mate … I have been collecting parts .. I have all my c4 corvette suspension front and rear … I popped up to Auckland a few weeks ago a bought a L98 and 6L80e trans out of a late model commodore 

and next Thursday I am booked at Vtnz and will trailer her there to have a vin assigned … 

then I will need to find a certifier and present him with my plan for the chassis build along with drivetrain 

I have another “thing “ in the pipe line 

but that’s another day another surprise ! 
 

how did you get in with all the flooding around your way ?

We were OK as we are up at the top of a hill. Only issue was the sewer line backed up and overflowed, but that now cleared and sorted. Awful devastation still down in the Hawkes Bay though, that everybody seems to have forgotten. WE have contributed to the fund though, which is about all we can do.

 

 

Chris that is sooo cool.  Congrat's

steve! i was having a wtf moment when i found out !.... this is sooo not my car !

i feel like i am the care taker of my good freinds legacy.

earl bob would love to know his caddy made it onto a tee shirt !! 

but having said that .. he knew that once he past that i would certainly look after the 59 and use it ! he hardly ever used her !!!

i have been conected to this car for justA over 30 years !

I am having a non Pontiac weekend … as in   Nothing I could post here with out being shot or hung from a high tree for !! Hahaha 

but !!! 
the cool part about my workshop ! 
I have this !!!

 

And right now I am playing bad finger at full volume 👍

And I do have my favourites …. Karen is one of them !!!  

And by gees could that girl sing !!!!

It was once said that she had an almost perfect voice - virtually unsurpassed by any other. Tee hee. You said 'by gees.' That's up there with 'crikey' & 'strewth!' My mother would often exclaim 'strewth,' and I have uncles who like saying 'by gees.'  'Pickle me grandmother' is the fringe dweller exclamation of choice. Weirdoes.

Our American friends are probably wondering what is going on with those exclamations.

I suppose the US equivalent would be 'goddam!' or 'hot damn.'

Or Hoover dam.

Or Jean Claude Van Damme.

HMMMMMMM

Hell yes Justa! Being a Ford truck guy and building a few F100s in the past I would actually love to see a modern version of the Ranchero.

matter of fact i think i can see where they have bogged up the rear doors, and chopped the roof off!!! my guess is this was a 4 door sedan !!! what do you think ?

Have never seen seats with armrest built in for front buckets.  Notice on the engine shot...there are not belts to drive fan or acc.   So it still runs/drives? Hmmm

Edited March 21, 20233 yr by JUSTA6

The arm rests are kind of cool 

We parked the 59 next to my mates super bird … caddy is justA 2 inches longer !!! 
wanganui rodders cruise weekend
