I'll start this thread to show my ute during restoration.
This has been a long process. Started about 2004.
Was 8 years waiting for paint and panel work to be done. But it was a pretty full on job, done by Hudsons Paint & Panel at Pittsworth Qld.
Everything was stripped out of it, right down to wiring, brake lines. Body off chassis. 2 pack chassis & underbody.
Byron and maybe a few others would remember me talking about it on FastLane site years ago.
Along the way, I guess people will say whats not right for a Sandman etc. Fact is, it was an original Sandman.
I'm building it how I would like it, and how I think GM should have built them(lol) While the plan is to keep it pretty std appearing, there are many small changes. Pearl paint, leather interior, but still using original colors and HQ seats, 400sbc, TH400, 9" diff, 15x8 alloy wheels, but HQ GTS copies.
