A sure surprise at the Beach Hop was seeing my old model A roadster! Now owned by Neil Surtees he has a full on rebuild planned in gloss black!
With alot of help from alot of people I built this car forties style when I was about 15 or 16 I guess.
Found an A chassis and running gear at Whangamata and the body came from Argentina - a B engine and outside header and away we went.
I fitted a five speed to it and got the A axle dropped too.
Over time it was featured in the first issue of the Petrolhead newspaper, various magazines including Car Kulture Deluxe
Visual differences are the red wheels and wide whites, the HEMI and the Pontiac tail lights.
What a blast from the past.......
