That is one sweet ride and the truck is too! I saw the front of it and it looked like a GTO with a bowtie on it. I figured it was a holden. We definetely need that in the states. The could make it as a Chevelle. Awesome build. Keep up the good work.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)

So after all the drama with the paint (ill get some photos up) looks like i stuffed up big time, and forgot to add the hardener to the high fill in a pot i mixed for the front arms etc.. not happy wih myself thats for sure.

But one good thing is all the other primer on the frame is perfect. i was dreading stripping hours and hours of work off.

Yea the holden logo on the front is ugly. People either like the chev badge on it or HATE it here in aus.
