1948 Chev truck I built in the early ninties -On a HJ One ton chassis...blown 400 on lpg ,TH400, 3:25 9". This was Qlds first fully registered hot rod. Because we used the HJ chassis - this was the key to getting full rego as the vehicle is identified by its chassis rather than its Body. The main roads Dept didnt look at this truck as an upgraded 48 Chev - rather as a downgraded Holden one tonner. So we were up against the eight ball to prove otherwise.

A 1959 Chev Elcamino I owned a few years ago. This was the car we accepted a s a Trade on the Model A hot rod - it was not really worth as much money as we first thought so consequently we lost a lot of $$$ on the eventual sale. Its all a learning process.
The '48 truck as found - what we started with. July 1992. Its hard to believe this could be transformed into a show winning Hotrod.

What a improvement! (and the Truck...*ouch*!) The end result of two years hard work by Kim and myself . Our first Hot Rod and became our daily driver for a few years. Our first born - Harold was bought home from hospital in this truck. Kim would do the weekly shopping in it and it was also our shop truck. This is the truck that caused the HG Ute to be sold off... luckily I got that one back!

Maybe some extractors and a Falcon Weber carb if the existing pipes dont fit into the Van. See the FC Ute IS used for a work horse.This was one of the planned engines for the EK van project. (It ended up in Coreys one Tonner - see current jobs in the shop album )
