    do you have Steve Shipway's details? aka crownman? He's been down this road a few times.
    Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

        Hey Al, had a chance to try out the steering box yet?

        Looking forward to getting down there and playing with this thing - assuming I can get away.
        Cheers, Richard

          Steering box will bolt up fine but need a column from an MS65 according to Toymodders. Rastas got any old Crowns up there? Coming up monday so might be able to get some bits whilst there.

            I approve of this conversion wholeheartedly. I reckon those moon caps with outer rings on the middle ute in the above shot are the shizzle my nizzle.

              I still like the superlites on the wagon.
              Sparta, Rome, The Knights of Europe, the Samurai. They worship strength, because it is strength that makes all other values possible.

                          Agreed, looks like an old valiant ute, only betterer.

                          The black parts of the wheel centre between the chrome trim rings, are they another wheel trim or a smoothie style aftermarket wheel with trims attached? I've got an old 5 series that I was thinking about turning into a half arsed rod project and want wheels like this.

                              Wilful ignorance does though.
