Re: 1957 Chevy farm truck from Australia

Probably not as much as a few pints.

One thing that got me about Oz was the amount of serious street machines running around. I am talking cammed out super charger cars yet they have the engineering laws. Here we can pretty much act as our own engineer and don't really see the level of HP that they are putting down. Maybe it had to do with how close the track was but every weekend was like going to the nationals here.

I worked with a guy over there who had the limo that the queen rode in when she visited New Zealand. Can't remember the year but it was a 20s or 30s deal. His dad got it from a museum that had a fire. I saw alot of pics of their restoration efforts. Sorry I don't mean to hijack the thread since I was just curious of the laws he was dealing with. Back to the build.
