Now that is really a novel concept. Even though it isn't early V/8, the amount of work
and the craftsmanship looks very good. The builder should be pretty proud to drive it.

Wow.

Wouldn't be able to drive a vehicle like this on the roads in Australia.

Why not? It'd be right side up with a right-hand steering wheel down there, wouldn't it?

It would indeed be right side up down under, but the Laws here are so tough. For example, in Queensland, if you own a 1938 Ford and wish to convert the Brakes from Mechanical to Hydraulic using parts from a 1939 Ford, you have to get the work inspected and a Blue Plate is attached to the vehicle. If you do it on the side without notifying the authorities, and get caught, you will be fined.

Great video. I have the same truck but right side up. Maybe he should think about getting into early Fords.
