Gidday Humpyboy, The ute has come up great. Very well done. You must be so proud of it. I especially like the tow bar. Nothing but the best.

Thanks for your comments guys, and banno the only way that that tow bar will fall off is with half the ute attached

Gidday Humpyboy, that's the best way to build them.
Also I am originally from Morwell, Churchill then Hazelwood North.
Where abouts are you in West Gippsland?

very nice humpyboy

I like the bumperettes and connecting bar .......... similar to a FJ bakers van.

Are the chrome trim rings originals ?

Thanks again for the comments guys, waiting on new paperwork from Vicroads as they stuffed up on the engine number

hope it will be here Monday or Tuesday, Banno I'm in sleepy little Bunyip, figure you would know it if you've been through a couple of times, Mark, yes the bumperettes are the same as you would find on a bakers van, original stuff I thought I'd never find and yes the trim rings are original as far as I can tell as are the spats.

Sick of waiting for Vic roads so have had it out twice now (the CAR) ::)

first time was local, display at Bunyip show, five minute drive down the road went well and had a bit of intrest, second day out was an hours drive to work in the morning then later that evening over to my club meeting then back home, again went really well, only thing that I need to look at is a bit of wind noise around the drivers door.

Hey Humpy,

Great to see a completed resto on a car. Better get of my butt and do some on the 25 I reckon.

Congrats on the ute. I love an original resto.
