Yep, it was that Tom Fulton. Car is still around, my Dad has owned it for the last 20-odd years. Here's some other shots from the first Street...
Aussie Fords are such a hodge-podge of Meteor and Ford parts. Never noticed that the star model hubcaps were from a '56, although it makes sense....
Thought I'd quickly jump in on the Jeeps and Harleys in crates story. I don't know about the Jeeps (apparently there's about 10 and a couple of...
I've suddenly had a hankering for a '57-'59 Ranchero recently. Found a cool project on CL that I could afford if I wasn't 6000 miles across the...
Cheers Moose, that's absolutely perfect! Sent from my SM-G955F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Hi guys, I was wondering if you could change the orange on this car to a nice dark red/maroon and put a set of wide whites and gold painted steel...
Yeah, I get to keep the doors haha. Also have a spare set just in case. The name John Comber and a yellow-ish FC are ringing bells in the back of...
G'day fellas, Been a long time since I posted, or even lurked on the H.A.M.B., so I thought a thread was long overdue. Since my last post I've...
Since you guys are playing around with English stuff, how about this Humber Hawk? Been thinking about buying it as it's nearby and fairly cheap.
It was an abbreviation of George Lucas' previous movie THX1138.
I thought it looked familiar!

Judging by the EH Holden in the background it has to be at least 1963.

I'll step up to a 186 one day, but the ol' 132 will have to stay in place as long as I'm on my P's. I do have a pair of dual carb intakes and a...
If I remember correctly Chrysler hardtops were available as early as 1957 or 58, but only as 4-doors and only came in the Plymouth Belvedere/...
Could someone point me towards somewhere I could get a set of window winders? Pretty sure the Holden ones are just recast Chevrolet ones.
That Opel Elco is what our Holden utes should have been!
Tried a couple of looks on the front end before work, this is the one I like the best so far, but if anyone has any suggestions? I was going to...
Was bored tonight after work, so I decided to try and get the lights working, success!
Looks like an almost factory roof height, ala the 2" lower '55 Crown Vic/Sunliner roof. Love it, man! Subbed.
Hey fellas, any mild custom grille ideas for my Holden?
Spotted this out the back of an old but operating Ford dealer not far from my place.
Yep, looks like I'll be bogging in the mornings from now on. I've been thinking about updating the Grey, but it's done a lot of miles and it's got...
Round 2 went a lot better. I got up at about 6 and tried the filler again while it wasn't so humid. It needs a little more sanding but it's been...
If you guys have the time, could you add lakes pipes or Bellflower tips to this please?
Maybe, I did mix it according to the directions though.
Run into an issue with the bondo, I'm not sure if I mixed it wrong or it's the humidity, but it's started to crack already. Might have to learn...
Before:
Doing a few body fixes and mods today, should be nosed and decked by tonight.
