wow! yeah i don't live where it snows either, but we do have the mountains a few hours away where we can find snow. actually we could surf in the morning and snowboard by afternoon.

i think lots of people are fed up with gas prices right now. I remember a time, several years ago, when gas was under $1 a gallon! How we took it for granted then!

Yeah myself never even seen snow... simply does not snow here.
Gas prices suck right now... we are paying $1.70 a litre which is about $6.45 a gallon.. But hey, what do you *** Everybody is in the same boat i guess... Might have to get myself one of those bio-diesel engines and run it on old french fry oil.

The truck only comes out on sunny days... I try and drive it every weekend pending on the weather.. I'm going to try my best not to even let it see rain.. One things for sure it won't see any snow or frost anymore.. (as it doesnt snow here) Jason couldn't believe i hadnt even seen snow my entire life... Just hope the radiator can handle the hotter temperatures... I'm sure it will be ok.

Nah luckily the law here is that if your car is an imported pre 1972 model you can leave the steering as LHD and you do not need to convert it. The only thing I had to change is put some seat belts in, add amber idicators to the rear and put some RHD headlamps in (as the american ones shine to the left.) The cops here would pull me over just to get a closer look at it i reckon...
Have the truck entered in a few shows coming up.. Will take some more pics to add shortly..
cheers.

Totally STOKED!! Really happy with it. The truck arrived on Thursday 29th May. Such a long process considering I purchased it back in February!!!
The truck turns so many heads it not funny! Just have to get used to driving left hand drive.. Pretty hard considering we drive RHD and on the opposite side of the road than you guys... Overtaking is fun as you need a passenger to make sure its clear..lol.

Hey.. FINALLY!! She came down under in one piece!! Not a mark on her.. This truck is awesome and will no doubt take home a few trophies at our hot rod shows here. It's true credit to Jason Courtney from Courtney's custom creations. I even have build pics that came with the car. Its good to know there is some honest people in the world cos I could have paid for anything.. as I've heard of a few bad stories from buying customs off the net.
Honestly I would say its one of the nicest 59's in the country!!
Thanks, stay tuned for more pics.

Hey... The truck is actually still on the water.. should be here in early May. I really can't wait to get her here.. I'm expecting to get a few looks down here as I have not seen any 59's here specially not as nice as this one looks. Will keep you posted and get some photos posted driving down under..
