Good news today for the 53!

Hi there all! Today the engineer gave me some good news about the 53. Yes the 53 gas been given the thumbs and it's ready now for the road. I'll receive my engineers report next Tuesday. The interior will be finished by the end of March. So I'll registered the 53 by the first week of April just in time to drive it down to the Australian street rod nationals for 4 days of fun. I am happy as a puppy with two pekkers!!
cheers all Aussie 53 Paul

Does the Aussie Street Rod Nationals have a cut off date for vehicles like over here (@ most bigger shows)? Our effies are too new over here. Oh, great job, you should be proud.
