Personally, I wouldn’t complain..! 
Here are a few photos.
My '59 Dodge Custom Royal, mostly original paint. We drove up to Reno for Hot August Nights, a friend was visiting from North Carolina, and he drove his black '57 with us. The eyelashes on the Dodge were a gift from my mother to my wife.
These photos were from 2008, I had gotten a '58 Dodge Custom Sierra into the wrecking yard that was abandoned by a hot rod shop after they threw all the trim away. The body only had minor rust, so I told M’lisa I would restore it and we’d take it on a trip around the country for our honeymoon. The car came in the yard in late April, and we headed to eastern Tennessee in mid October.
I was invited to Retromania in Palm springs this fall, featuring actors and vehicles from the movies American Graffitti, and Christine. I have been supplying parts for the restoration of the two remaining Christine movie cars that are owned by Bill Gibson, and Martin Sanchez, so they invited me. It was a 500 mile drive each way, but the '57 Fury is my daily driver, so no concerns there.
Malcolm Danare [played Moochie Welch in Christine] had a seat in the Fury-
Bill Ostrander [played Buddy Repperton in Christine]
Alexandra Paul [Played Leigh Cabot in Christine]
All the folks I met there were really nice, and happy to answer questions.

Some beautiful pictures here guys…great pics. thought Id post some of tonights crooze here in Adelaide South Australia.
We had some new cars out tonight and unfortunatly mine was the only PLYMOUTH out tonight. Next week is the all Chrysler show
show should be at least two 59’s I know of out there with my 57 and possably a 58 belvy aswell.
Here are some new cars in the scene. My buddys 32 ford sedan delivery is a newly aquired beauty. He used to own a 60 New Yorker but
sold it and bought this…I told him he was nuts but he’s always loved rods so…The DELOREAN is so cool and the Mercury
is such an awesome car to look at, spent ages looking at it. Hope you enjoy the pics guys…sorry no 59’s but will try better next time.
And last but not least a pic of me with my Crooze night Hawaian shirt I promised John.
Awesome guys, keep em comin’ Thanks Rob
Ah, a face to go with the name! The Edsel’s taillights, the Mercury’s “everything”, great show!

Thanks Jason great cars and great weather down under. Blizzard here this weekend. Ugh!
Yeah I sw on the news that hard time you guys are having on the east coast with al the snow. Hope you guys there are OK and no one
Is injured or is any damage to homes etc…our weather is fairly moderate all year round but we do need rain. We are the driest state in
Australia.
so no fires or flodds whee you’re at. That’s good news!
On the contrary Roger, South east Queensland has had some terrible floods from a hurricane about two weeks ago. Over 20 killed.
Northern Australia has some wild tropical weather of late but where I am in the South is generally OK.
Jason; Your 57 is awesome,when I saw the first pic of your car jumpin out I just about crapped my pants,BEAUTIFUL!! Nice pics,I also love the Merc!! Mark M

Jason: If you ever see A locomotive QUEENSLAND or PILBARA RAIL, I probably built it,I work at G.E.locomotive division,yes G.E does more than light bulbs. Mark M
That’s so cool Mark, I love trains…the Isington railway yards where they used to service all trains is only a stone throw away from my house but soon to be turned into housing. I’ll keep a lookout for them, you never know.
