this is a Galaxie kit that can be assembled as either a 46, 47 or 48 Chev, i am trying to Australianize it by converting it ti RHD and adding a 265 hemi, suspension has been lowered as per the parts provided.

Nice kit - I built one some time ago for an importer in Sydney, but I don't think they went ahead with bulk orders? It went together really well and looked great finished. I can see this one being customised too.

I like your idea to "Australianise" the model - hope it works out for you. Looking forward to seeing more progress pics.

The Galaxie kits pop up on Evil-bay now and then but usually fetch good money.

This looks promising.

Checked out the web site and I like the 3.5 skill level. not bad for 27 bucks us and 12 bucks us for postage. I wonder how a bulk order would go?

dv8v8 looking good so far is the dash easy to convert to rhd?
