New member from Australia
Hi everyone just thought I'd say G'day (hello).
My name is Robert and I've not long ago bought a beautiful 1961 apache c10 ( you guys call it a ugly snout LOL )and I can't wait to see it for the first time in the next 3 weeks. I'm hoping I don't need to bother you guys to much and hope I can read my way through this process. I also have a 1962 Cadillac coupe De ville that I have imported into Australia and Have been involved in the 1961 62 Cadillac forum for about 10 years and thanks to that site have learnt a lot and have meet a lot of new people, I'm hoping to do the same here. Thanks guys hope I will be part of the team. |

Re: New member from Australia
Thanks guys
And yes Ray she's a lefty and she will stay that way, the only hard thing about a left hooker is to try and remember what side of the car I need to get into. |

Re: New member from Australia
howdy from Indiana, and just eht other day I saw a truck the same year as yours but completely finished in a bright tangerine color. Very cool looking with chromed American Racing wheels. Again welcome and please don't ever think you are bothering anyone. Remember the only dumb question is one that has not been asked. (or something witty like that) lol

I think I will keep her looking the way she is at the moment and get all the mechanics running the way the should and stick a fresh engine in her for now. But I would love to bring her back to her former glory. And thanks again. Cheers |
