It came out of Birkenhead along with just a few others made into Buckboards at the assembly plant there, the rear springs were very well re-done to carry the load. When I bought it from the Riverland it was in total disassembly and stored in various open sheds. Fortunately that country is fairly dry and it had not been overly affected by iron termites (rust). The reason I favour the fast four engine is because of the 5 bearing crank shaft, and a better gear box and Dillon welder, as well as a jenny, vacuum tank, water pump and clutch along with several other and that was a big help. distributor were dismantled, checked and reassembled. improvements.

Someone said it was lead, tin and zinc, but that would only swell, de-laminate, crystallise and break with age! The timber work had to all be re- manufactured, except for only a few items. The timber in the scuttle provided it's fair share of time consuming challenges to engineer the parts. The rear fenders were made from 5 derelict ones, which I had to make into two mirror image parts, ie inside left was taken from the outside right, and the inside right was taken from the outside left (sounds like a dance step!!).

Then infills of suitable strength and shape were welded in so as to support the fenders, and brackets made up to fit the chassis all along, making them so the outside of the rear fenders was vertical and parallel to the front fenders. The wooden formers were made and mounted on cross members, the form shape I designed accumulated into compound curves rather than a linear curve. When it comes to wheeling up steel sheet on the compound curve it's quite challenging. Every join has to be made to The “B” agree.

The rear of the car or the roll pan was formed on a set of rollers and their side skirts or infills, whatever you wish to call them, were interesting enough to make, as I chose a contracting shape on the side of the roll pan, and embellished the side skirts with a mild elongated serpentine

The windscreen I made out of brass and canted it back 7 degrees in keeping with the boat tails of that era. I did not choose to use a Duval screen, but it would have been very nice. Those who are astute will note the front of the cabin and doors have been custom shaped (18 templates) making it akin to the 1930 Dodge roadsters.

The car an EH Holden Premier was purchased by our son Matthew in the early 1990’s. He used it for a couple of years, even taking it on a trip to Darwin.
