Dean Vale Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 I am building a replica of my dads hot rod which he raced from about 1973-1976 the car was sponsored by STATUS QUO and PREMIER DRUMS he had many a good race against the likes of Barry Lee, George Polley and many more! I have had the car about 18 months now and have progressed to the paint stage the car is all primered just waiting for the top coat now, which should hopefully be done within the next week or so!!! feel free to visit my website at www.deanvale.bravehost.com where you can see pics of the original car and other racing cars my family have driven over the years and also loads of pics of the rebuild, let me know what you think by leaving a message on my forum!! take care all Dean
