1963 DC Ute "Leo"
splitbusaustralia - March 14th, 2009 at 07:39 AM
Greetings All,
My 63 twin cab 'Leo' is up for sale at $32k.
Type IV engine, IRS'ed, dropped spindles, bay disc brakes.
Winner DOVW best modified split 2005 and 2006. Runner up 2007 (but I did drive him there!), didn't enter judging last year (probably would have
struggled against some nice splits newer on the scene though).
He has got a few small things that need doing now, but is in very good/excellent condition.
If you're seriously interested drop me a pm and I'll pass on my contact details (I generally hate selling cars and do struggle a bit with the tyre
kicker thing…).
I'm in Geelong Victoria.
regards
RobK

Well Leo for the last fews days has had a major overhaul.
Picked him back up today. Just like to thank Mick & the team at AVWPC. Very easy to deal with.
You forget how good it feels to have that smile on your face when driving them.
People stop & chat. Take photos, chat etc ... but always the best one's are: "It looks good chopped down" or "Custom ute" or "Did they build
them like that?" etc etc ... I just tell them it used to be a Single Cab & I upgraded it :P
Ohhhh and before you ask: They are over-rated

Always loved this thing
Hope you enjoy many more years together

Well after almost 10 years... I'm close, very close :roll eyes:
Trial fit.

Nice1 I like the first shot Matty is the black thing Leo marking his territory ?
BTW I think it look great without the gates as well. Mitch

thanks Mitch... nahhh that wasn't me :fake sniff: old hotrod did that mark.
yeah i didn't mind the look without gates... but Im loving it now. DC's just look fatter, meaner with gates on them. 
shaven - March 9th, 2016 at 11:53 PM
10 years... It's all done. I'm bloody stoked 
waltermitty - March 10th, 2016 at 06:50 AM
Not finished needs a petrol flap do you need one?
Was it removed to colour match or did you match by code?
and does it match as well as it looks?

Hey Mitch,
No
Yes
No
No
Mate from a distance the colour looks great. It has been very hard to match. The inside is a little darker but I'm leaving it as it will get very hot
in there & fade a bit.
The outside has been done 3-4 times. Everytime it hardens & you get that perfect shine it drys a different colour. Matty the guy doing it is fussy
(like me).
He is doing a coat tomorrow... then he is going to wet sand it back... take off some shine & buff it... it will come out close but not 100%.

Very nice Matty.
You have a very nice collection of vehicles!

Cheers Scotty... thats it... I'm done (maybe) 
OK... Gates done & dusted finally. 3-4 goes with trying to match the paint colour... Not perfect but the next best thing.
All tucked in for the night... even gave Leo a drink

Looks the goods with gates mate.
Also much more practical. Now you can throw all your shite in it.
