some of you guys may have seen my previous post of my brothers car. I never got around to adding finished photos of it before he crashed it, so heres some of it finished, crashed, and reborn as a 56 rat

Looks good

as You said a mixture of old and new...

I don't like Torana tail lamps though..
I'm a stickler for VW tail lamps...

Oh dont fret, the origonal car is still all there, the engine and gearbox have been put aside, and all mods are bolt on. A few holes under the dash for the makeshift guage pods, but thats about it. we made sure he didnt cut the dash up and fill it with guages. still the original pan under there, just with new pan halves and discs all round. so it could be put back the way it was real easily.

as long as he doesnt crash it :fakesniff:
