I found a bunch of photos we took at the beginning of the year,,where we were hoping to lure Ken Thurm for a few hours while he was in Auckland.
These pics have been hiding on the laptop for several months..:D

Thats all folks..Stragglers picnic in two weeks,,will see whats new then..stand by for another pile..:D
Some great pic's and thanks for sharing them! I just love the #26 car! It's great to see the variations in the themes we follow around the world. Thanks again!
Interesting to note that when Dave Alexander was building that car,he did it entirely from photos,any information he could get,plus on a trip to the States,he managed to get permission to go on the other side of the barrier in the museum to get a pile of measurements and pics to make sure it was as accurate as he could get,hence Art Chrisman saw it at Bonneville last year,and was quite blown away by the authenticity of the build,he also autographed the dash,then Dave and his friend Paul "Pins" Sattler proceded to drive its wheels off and gazzumped each others records a few times..:LOL:Quote:

Lots of nice stuff!!!! Surprised to see the Ranchero's and ElCamino's!!!! Had to of been a great get together!
The Rancheros And El Caminos are treasured by lots...there are quite a few of each breed popping up.The red elky was built up and owned by Duane Jones,of Kiwi Konnection,a while before he went Stateside..Quote:

Man, I'd give a couple away just to have room and time for the Ranchero!!!! I found a '58 here locally, waiting for a title mess to get straightened out then I might do some dealing on it....It's a rust monster, by he, it's a '58 Ranchero...Quote:
