The front of the beast.
That's me standing in front of it.
The driving light was given to me by a friend, it's early fifties Mopar, and was still in its original box.
We connected it up, turned it on, and it threw quite a bright light for a wee while...then went out.
It's six volt...and no-one thought to check!


Take a good look; you'll never see this again.
This is the only time it'll wear whitewalls while it's in my care!

The front and right hand side of the beast...our daily driver is in the background.
As you can see it's an overcast miserable Waikato day; not raining at that moment...but it had been...hard!

Another shot of Beauty and the beast.
That stainless trim across the back door is from a '47/'48 Ford sedan trunk lid, and the FORD written in it lights up when I hit the brakes.

(And yes; the hair is all my own! Just thought I'd better get that in before someone else does!
)
