    Sweet Derek,
    Sorry I should have dropped you a message with some more info on where to go to post an intro etc, anything you need drop me a PM or email, will have to look you up if I'm down wellington way, Quicky looks great.
    If you run into anyone with a spare 30-31 closed car cowl let me know.
     

  5. Welcome Derek. I'm the Aussie that was bustin' your chops about info on your quickchanges back in May.....still on my wish list! Cheers, Wayne Hadfield.

    Welcome to the HAMB. I say your quickchange at the Model A meet in Reno in 1998. Looked good then, still want one for my 28 Coupe. Someday definitely.
