Thread: Greetings from New Zealand

Thank-you Brent Mills for the welcome. I have been lurking around C.H.R. for some time, & have been very impressed by the people who subscribe to it. There is a wealth of knowledge/ expertise out there very generously shared by people who don't mind giving up their time to help others. I hope I can fit in, & not leave you thinking too poorly of kiwi rodders.
Our rides: 1966 A.C.Cobra replica, [Berry kit], Holden Torano ifs, 429 Ford, C6 auto, Jaguar XJ6 irs. Been owned/driven by us for 12/13 years. Also a 1947 Ford sedan, XJ6 ifs/irs, 350 Oldsmobile motor & box, [Hey!-it was under the bench OK?] Been on the road about 18 months, still a "work in progress". But then no work of art is ever really finished.
That hasn't stopped us eyeing up our next project, a1949 Ford bonus twin-cab. Yes I know Henry never built one, but that won't stop me from trying to!
Cheers.

P.s. Yeah it's OK to say "Goodnight johnboy"---you won't be the first.

Welcome to CHR Johnboy. Sounds like quite a fleet you have, hope you are going to post some pics in your gallery soon. Enjoy your time at CHR..

I think you'll fit in just fine around here

Welcome

Thanks Mike and Dave. Thinking about it, it would be a bit premature to call the Bonus a project yet, all it consists of is two cabs, a bonnet, a grille shell and two 200 litre drums full of dreams.

Sounds like a project to me!!! Sometimes half the battle is just locating the right pieces. Dreaming, sheming, and conniving is what separates us from the "normal" folk who use bolt ons!!!!!
