That's exactly what I was gonna say! Aussie car?!?!?!

That must be it, but it's turning the wrong way!

LOLs. Your computer is upside down guys. It looks right on mine. Must be an IPad thing. I'll try to edit it.....upside down. Are both pictures upside down?

nope, just the one of the car!

Heck, you were probably thinking we had all gone nuts!!!!!

LOLs. If anyone s nuts its me.

Ok. I revered the second picture. It's upside down for me now. LOLs. Did that work?

Nope. Still an aussie car over here!

Hmm. That's odd.

I can see the southern cross just above the tire tread, blazing in the sky!

Lol Steve.

Finally took some pics of Mike's Cutlass, should have cleaned the car a bit before I took the pics!!!

Anyway, what was left of the stock dash was rusted out along the windshield so I cut out all the bad stuff and replaced it with good stuff! Mike wanted the gauges up where he could see them, so rather then get a repop dash, I just built this one. He also wanted the shifter where his hand would fall right on it without leaning forward or reaching so I built a console for it, too. (Cage and tubs were already installed years ago.)

The car sat outside for about 4 months with no glass in it, so I had to do a bunch of grinding and sanding to get the tubs and the rest of the interior panels and floor ready for paint. I'd almost forgotten how much fun it was to clean, sand, prep, and paint a bunch of roll bars!!! Just picture a crippled old dude playing on a jungle gym!!!!!!!

The color is HOK Pagan Gold. Florescent lights and a cheapo camera don't do the color justice, I'll get some good pics when the car is done and sitting outside so that Randy the picture Sheriff doesn't chastise me again, I still have bruises!

WOW, big difference since the last pics we saw. Interesting color, the pic of the tubs (3rd one down) shows the depth of the color I think.

Cool approach on the dash, simple and effective.

And I'm glad you put those pics up, as his deputy, you know how he'll beat on me for sleeping on the job!

'course we won't mention how his own project has been mia...
