A ute grafted onto a Caprice. First time I saw that. Great find. That would make a luxurious family workhorse.

Looks like one of the SA Variety bash cars.  ^^^

Great charity that does a car run through various parts of SA and far Western NSW raising money for sick/disadvantaged kids.

Been on a couple of them over the years as a crew member for another entrant.

TB2 won the best presented vehicle award for 2015.

Good pics dds.  ^^^

Some more pics of the build here (scroll down to May/June entries):

These days $10,500 for an LE and you still get powder coated armour and legs.  FINALLY someone is going back to shiny chrome!!  Nothing looks better than Chrome armour, especially when its as shiny as that.

Bonus also regarding repairability. If it's scratch and banged up, its easier to polish up and restore.  Though powder coating is very resilient, you can't polish out a scratch!

So long as it is not plastic crome like you find on cars these days.

It's a trick of the camera.

Homepin lockdown bars are not as wide as standard WMS style ones so they appear to be longer than they are.

These are polished stainless steel and are standard width bars.

Yep Mike I polish my stainless like that. Way better than chrome if you do it right.

Hopefully you might consider making widebody ones one day also when you have the time.

So, I'm guessing the game was not revealed at Pinfest last weekend?
