    You might call that a tail dragger.

    I've seen worse cars turned into jewels. But way beyond my ability.

    Too much work for Chip, he would never take it on----However, if you have a dream, and you have to have it---anyone of us could get it done......
  • is a real shame to see these photos ... and as a car at the time can leave the memories into oblivion

    Bye!

    Actually, here's another '38 ute in Oz that's in marginally better condition -- unless my photo is of the same one as yours, BEFORE it was pushed outside to rust!
  • hmmm,it may possibly be the same one,the guy who owns the one i photoed has only had it for 2-3 years,hes never going to resto it,he just likes old car bodies lying around his farm! still,thats a bit more realistic than the blokes who have 30 restorable cars rotting into the ground that they are"going to restore one day".
    They wont sell any of em,wont part with any parts even if you desperately need em and when theykick off(surrounded by piles of rust) it all goes to the scrap metal guy.The hoarding instinct is an amusing anachronism and a bit out of context in the modern world.My motto is "if you aint using it,sell it to someone who will"
