Just thought i would show you guys my next project. I purchased this off a mate in Orange County in 2006 and it has been sitting around whilst i finish off some other peoples cars.
I was keen to get things started so early on in the piece i obtained an RHD chassis,converted it using the aussie firewall and dash and have set it up with airbags, but since then nothing much has happened. I hope to get back into it in a couple of months.

Blacky its a 59. i bought it less motor and box, it was an injected 427 and TH400. I know im soft! but i want this to be pretty much an everday driver and i dont think my wallet could handle feeding an injected big block.

Brett i just need to get these 2 restos out of the way and it will be full steam ahead on the elco. Although since joining the forum ive been a little bit inspired so i might have to sneak the EK back in the shed for a tidy up Ha ha!

Stumpys van is nearly on the road, re-trimmed, good paint red motor and auto etc, looking real good. Next time im over there i will take some pics. Lets just say im a bit slower but i havn't slowed down, still over committed and i have too many projects but im sure you can relate to that Ha Ha!
FC sedan sounds cool, thats sounds excellent for a family car.
Congats on your 59 I had mine for 6 years. Needs some work but is a good girl. 327 powerglide turns heads and scares young children( except my own)Maybe people are scared of those spinner caps
