And I had a photo shoot for custom car magazine,it's mad to think that as a teenage boy I used to sit and dream of having a car nice enough to be in street machine or custom car ,now it's happened . I'm still dreaming about that Once I'd managed to find the car in the above image I was seriously impressed Wish my car had bodywork like that, wish my wife had bodywork like that

Spring is in the air this week ,seemed like a good time to wake the old girl up from winter hibernation . So off came the cover and with a fresh battery she fired straight up . everything works apart from the voltage regulator ,that seems to have died over the winter ,it's now charging at anything up to 18v . The list of parts i need to order from the States is growing . All cleaned and ready to roll. First trip out was to a local diner meet, photos by a couple of talented photographers attending. More updates as I start to tackle some of the jobs I need to do.

All I can say is to repeat all the other compliments for your car. I can't wait to see it in CC too.

I've no idea ,slacker ,at some point this year ,I was told . The photos he took at the shoot didn't really do it justice to be fair (I was given copy's of them ) ,he seemed more interested in photographing the model rather than the car. Maybe the editing in the mag will improve them ,I'm still chuffed for it to be featured tho.

As much as I like to see a lady with a car, the models seem to get much more focus than the cars (especially annoying as the girls are usually "dressed up to fit in" rather than actual pin up models at the moment) Old Skool Rodz and Car kulture Deluxe are going the same way, dolly bird hipsters obscuring proper cool cars. Let us know when it's in as i'yll pick up a copy

As for dressing them up to fit in ,this model was dressed up by the photographer in some kinky ,Grease final scene ,costume that he thought suited the style of my car ,I don't think he really gets it . I did get an email from them yesterday saying that it will be in next months issue ,available the last Friday in April ,it will be interesting to see how it comes out.

It could be worse.
At least the body on that ones pretty so I'd continue reading.
If they had a tatted up, stretched-ear hipster rockabilly wannabe draped over your car, I'd turn the page without a second thought, missing your cool machine.

Had to look that one up (yes, I've had a sheltered life) and realized that there are lots a bit like that around here. I'm told they are "naughty girls who hang around the many, many girl, no panty bars" and that I mustn't talk to them. Anyway, it gives me the welcome chance to say how much I like the T-Bird.

Slacker ,essex is a bit low on firme cholas ,need to import a couple lol I thought as much and the hipsters are yet to jump on chicano over here YET!!! But if they had done there research then they could have dressed a model up in a style to fit the car.

Thanks chap And thanks George , your tales of life in the Philippines are briliant ,many girl ,no panty bars ,sounds like the average essex nightclub I'm still waiting for my parts to arrive from the U.S. ,so can't drive it at the moment as the battery's over charging ,the gearbox mount is destroyed and the carb is in bits on my work bench ,I thought I had a carb rebuild kit for it but it turned out to be the wrong one, typical . A couple more pics taken by Matt warren from the last bungalow diner meet here in essex

Got some more pictures of this at Cressing yesterday, looking fantastic as ever. Good to see it out, so many people around it though makes it difficult to get a decent shot!
