Any progress on the ute JB?

Look great JB! Should be a great build.

Hi guys,

Not much progress yet. It is tucked away at my old man's place 3 hours away from me at the moment. Have collected a few bits and pieces for it but that is about it. He is busy working on his FC hotrod so the ute needs to wait.

Will keep you updated as she progresses.

Thanks for your interest.

Cheers

JB

Hi,

Did you consider this ute as fairly standard. I was looking at the:-

• Belmont badge on the tailgate
• '74 console with the large opening without the spot for the seatbelts
• kingswood arm rests but I think they are Belmont door trims.

Not being picky just trying to work out what is what for my van resto...

Only half the body sitting in a rust pile on the floor.

A couple of the other creatures that got in and done ahead of it.

Damn COVID travel restrictions making it impossible for me to spend time on it, the old man is making a good start though.

That'll be one sexy ute when done. I love the colour, but then I'm biased !!

Good things come with time
