John, if you are keeping it authentic, are you going to run side burns and a moustache with a little hair hanging over the collar like back then.
PS where are you doing this as i am down next Saturday on Shore for a birthday and may drop in.

Hi Rod, you are welcome to drop in, best to call me first-I am in the phone book.You will be safe as there are no planned non-union working bees yet. Fortunately as there have been a few Coupe drivers over the years, there are a variety body styles to choose from. I personally prefer the Jim Richards model- tall, slender, no facial attachments. I definitely am not the round Fred Gibson model, but like Allan Moffat do use glasses. Dale can keep the mustache fan club happy. I dont remember back in the early 70s we were required to wear fire rated hair nets to keep our waist length hair extensions safe,so whats the latest ruling on where long hair is to be kept...only over the collar?

Been awhile since i had long (any) hair, so not too sure on that. Will contact you. Cheers
So will I not recognise the long haired hippy who used to drive the water truck at Waikaraka Park- Rod, you are a real survivor.
Could this vehicle have potential as a race car.

72 early XA shell + truck load of money and it could!!
Hard to tell from photo (with no radiator support) but gather it was factory V8, that is why they cut rad support panel off to get motor out?
Anything can be made into a race car, just time, $$$, time $$$ time. Looks like it is most there.
It's not going to be acid dipped !!!!
Well at least its got a good hoodlining
Kiwi285, is this your new project ? that will cut into your camera time.
Like Lazarus - brought back from the dead
As several people have noted time and money are great healers of neglected cars
Wow , that is a real transformation.The dogs look like they will protect it from harmful elements. Good to see original lime glaze , hate it when all reference to cars earlier life is removed. Kiwi285 , that is such a meaningful sentence-especially that word -healer.It is as if the car can self repair after the elements have ravaged them. All they need to do is crawl away and hide at the back of the garage for long enough and they will emerge like the Cobra that Rod recently added.
