When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Hey Blacky,
was "Shake Rattle & Roll" a copy of the Gazard Boys EK out of the movie Running on Empty?

No - it was the original.

Re: Show us your Car!
Yeah, I wish I had that Pink EK back. I re-did just about everything on the car and she went well
If just for the fact that John Katsanis did the flame job on it for me - and frenched the aerial amongst other little things
I remember John saying 'Leave it to me" - everyone loved the flame job. A couple of 57 chev owners copied it after they saw the color scheme.
The gauge panel in the top of the dash was made by Ansett Aircraft Engineers in a 'quiet moment'
Rod Hadfield did the 4 speed conversion / and the seat mod. in it too
Parts bought for me (When I was broke and used it as a back-up car to get to work) by good mate who has been deceased since 2001
So there is a lot of mine & Aussie history in that car

I’ll get the ball rolling.
