Hello Bob
I believe he got them done localy in Gympie. I can't tell you any more than that. You will notice the brass V8 badge on the bonnet in one of photographs. Lloyd had the chrome version from a Model A hood badge from Macs Autos in the States and he had a brass cast made from it in a Gympie foundry to make it original. Very meticulous. He showed me how he spent time shrinking each of the panels back to their original shape after people had stood on the roof and dented them. I wish I had his patience and metalworking skills. Can't wait for the end result.
