so, I brought this on the weekend, drove it home.


needs LOTS of rust work, but its like a truck to drive. this thing is big.
comparison between 52 morrie and 49 plymouth. morrie is at standard height.

had to stop at the pub on the way home so it could do wee on the carpark.
marking its territory.


has a flathead 6 with 3 on the tree.

flathead 6

rust as to be expected


no rust here, no floor or sills either...

fixed the hole in the radiator with araldite.
works mint as it runs no pressure in the system.
just has a big header tank.
got some wheel trims for it too.

have driven this to the pub a couple of times, goes well for a flathead.
have done nothing to it since buying it really, still haven't even put fuel in it yet.
got these today 14X7 hotwires.
might have to do some work in the school hollidays on it...

carlsberg for comparison.

[governorsam]

seems they aren't hotwires after all.
Appliance Wheels, very likely made in america.

stylin'...

trial fitted the mags today.

before...


after. has 195/60/14's on them, need 235 70 14 or something like that.
looks a bit like a gasser, need hitting with the lowering stick.




anyone know where to get lefthand threaded wheel shank bolts?
do they even exist? will probably drill them out and use / convert to falcon studs.

enough room for 4wd spec tyres.....

have decided mags are gay, also am going to raise the floor when i make one for free slam.
and roof chop because i can.
now have a plasma cutter and a bead roller to make it easier.
