Hi Folks, been checking on here for a long time, finally got to registering and hope to make some new friends and learn a bit. I have 2 Caddys, a 60 and 65, both Coupe Devilles, and a 34 pickup which has custom frame, chop, channel, fenderless, running Pontiac 389, tripower, 4 speed and banjo rear. Just got some doorskins and bottoms from robin at Fox panels in Canada. The body came from Montana and has the usual rust and damage, but she'll live! The 60 Cad is in pieces, frame off, has a good body, 390 all done and all chassis work finished, bags done, just body and paint to go!??? I own a body and paint shop but finding time to do my own stuff is hard, undecided on color but will be 60's style. I recently bought the 65 as a driver, a good clean car, I just lowered it and have some Porter mufflers to fit next. Cheers, John
Hey thanks, I just checked out your build pics, looks great, chop looks just right. When I get the hang of this I will post some pics of my cars. Cheers, John

Welcome from a past "Icehole" that spent a lot of time in CHCH going to and from the Ice. Loved pretty much everything about NZ and always took the time to visit different places (mostly on the South Island, sorry!). Spent a week in Greymouth and thought it was great, loved being near the ocean and watching the boats shoot the narrows. Drank way too many beers in ChCh but I blame the Kiwis....they made me do it.... Did all the 'touristy' stuff in Queenstown and jumped at Skippers. Spent two weeks with my parents, driving them around both islands in a rented "Campervan" (that 'wrong side of the road' will really get 'cha at a rotary or roundabout!!!). Enjoyed the hot springs at Rotorua. You folks have a great country and I would love to visit again. Welcome! Bill
