Hi everyone I just got a 1940 ford   and I'm wondering if there is a secondary hood /bonnet catch  available for this model  
If any body could help on were to purchase one I would be grateful  
If the hood ever came up at speed it would be  nasty

thanks Ian

good luck guys hope it all turns out good

Denise's fridge will never be the same again    

thanks enjenjo  (international rescue)

it will be nice to meet the tourists we'll look after them     Ian  
see you guys at bright

don't worry about that taxi driver white anting you carps

that tin worm is the real worry  get that fixed soon

by summer the cook will be back. the cabbies are to stingy to put the aircon on and she will want the 34 without the windows    

that lil T is smok'n what a beauty

Why am I reminded I must repaint the out-house

thanks Ems  i posted on the hamb as well thats how they Emailed  me

I cant do anything till Daryl gets down here for a look  at the pics  

I will keep you guys posted thanks again

the texas car is at owers salvage in wellington   it is well picked over from the photos   but the chassis and one quaterpanel are good  

mrlow boys cars are a better proposittion i think

hi yeoman  we have about ten guys making a living out of transporting cars and parts from  us and world wide   these are the prominent ones that advertise  
but there are two the stand out from the crowd  ron wicks and graham & mick webb (brothers) these guys are   they do all the work at that end but it costs you
they tow it  steam clean it do the customs stuff and load the container

mr lowboy those canadian cars look just like Daryl's he will be down here early next week  he has no computer I phoned him he asked about rust and mentioned the salt on your roads he was pleased when i told him the bodies looked good   even i like the teal blue one

during the casting prosess the hole provides a place to hold the sand core stable during the pour  so the new block will have a void for the timing chain  and the liffter webbing
when they are casting so many they have to be put together quickly and accuratly not pretty  

pretty comes when they machine the important bits

i will find out more from daryl   the texas car looks right to me  

what you say makes sence because of the left hand drive thing over here.  and the restorers often talk of  canadian steering boxes.   i will get a digital shot of this car an post it.   soon    thanks   ian

yeoman if you can post some photos of the yard so i can show daryl
the texas car is to bad on the US drivers side    thanks Ian   ps theres no hurry

hi yeoman i got an Email from a texas yard .last night with some attached photos . Daryl's car has had a pretty good hit up the rear   by a small compact car that crumpled on impact the old ponti shook and absorbed the rest of the shock through the tow bar and into the frame as the frame went forwards it bucked the quaters. now  if you ask me he should get the shell from texas cut up and sent over   but it is up to him (daryl) as pontiacs arn't realy growing on trees over here    

thanks for the lead  

to further answer your question  he needs one of each quaterpanel  it would be much easier to repair them off the car suprisingly the rear panel and boot didnt suffer all that much but he should buy these allso
and a rear bumper will be a must have

anybody got any leads on a a rear half of a 58 four door pontiac  an aussie guy has had a tail ender over here   and we dont have many spares   thanks in advance Ian

thanks joe
the price may rock my friend.  but if he wants to play he'll have to pay .
