I bought this in St Louis in May. I'm going to the engineer on the 22nd and should hopefully have rego by the end of the month.
It runs a 350 Vortec, TH350 and 8" Mustang diff.

Looks very nice there GT, how do you go getting a rod licenced LHD ? I thought that was a drama ?

I've got a '67 Impala as well as the rod and EK. I want to make a start on it but cant fit it in while the EK's there....somethings gotta go and the EK's it.

How much of it is '34?

All of it...except the drive train.

The commercials all had the same grille from 32 to 34 ( and a few years after...I think). The grille shell is fatter than a sedan/coupe/tudor and leans back at the top.
&*#@ only made 346 of them and it was the last year they made roadster pick ups in the US.

I'd say good luck with the rego but you guys in Canberra don't really need it, lucky bastards.....
I live in NSW, but that shouldn't present a problem. I'll tell you next week when I get back from the engineer

i doubt you'll have a problem with rego there's plenty of LHD rods getting around
DR things must have changed alot in VIC i remember when i used to say i wish i lived in VIC re: vehicle mods never thought i'de see the day when a victorian said us in NSW were lucky
