I finally got back to Kevin's with a camera the engine is in and he has driven around the paddock. Now he is waiting for body parts to come back from the restorer.

It's been a while since I've called into the shed, some good progress since my last visit.

The dodge is in Wagga at the moment having the body parts test fitted before painting then it will come home for final assembly.
A new toy arrived this week and it may end up a command car.
Kevin has some rims he would like identified.

Hi Robert,

Is the tyre a 900-16 runflat, marked RF ? Looks like it could be a Ferret wheel if so.
