1963 DC Ute "Leo"
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

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.

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%.

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
