What a beautiful ute. Love the the look and sound of it. HK-T-G's are my favourite Holdens and had a few over the years. Still kicking myself for selling my HG Monaro for $650 back in the day. 😭😭😭
Cheers mate, an yeah they are my favorite shape aswell. I wish they were still worth 600 bucks hahaha
@@aussieshedtalk7811 my Monaro was just a poverty pack. 173 with 3 on the tree. I actually paid $490 with 6 months reg. That was back in 1993. Things will do when we are young. Lol
@@secretsquirrel75 even the pov pack Monaros are worth a killing now days haha
Arghhh!!!! $650 was probably a lot of money back then eh.
She's sweet man love the patina paint shows all her natural scarres beautiful ❤️
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!!
Nice ride Dan. Keeping the body stock and the original benchy is the way to go for a "Sleeper". I hope you have a set of stock steel rims and caps for the old girl. 👍
Cheers for watching mate, I do have a set of stock wheels that I throw on it to cruise around and it definitely tops off the sleeper look.
@@aussieshedtalk7811 Good to hear that.. I love old school cromies, dress rims and caps. My teenagehood on my K, T's and G's and even a Prem.
Nice ute, reminds me of my White HG ute with Monaro guards, bonnet, dash, with 192, webber carb, etc. loved my first ute 💖
That's awesome mate, the HKTGs are great cars !!
Australians loving the American Muscle!!!
Australians developed that American muscle!!!!
Can't get any Aussier than A HG Holden Ute
I like the original look on the exterior and all the good stuff hidden, also the rego plate suits it.
Nice job buddy.. Always liked the HG model.
Cheers mate, yeah they have always been my favourite shape, cheers for watching.
Really good,well done
Cheers mate
Cool hot rod. Badass
Cheers mate, and cheers for watching !!
Love the sound
cheers mate !!
No doubt about it, behind every “built” Holden is a Ford 9inch.
Shame Ford didn’t actually design the 9 inch.
@@vintagetractorsaustralia, who gives a rats arse who designed it, Holden and GM were kings of ripping off everyone else’s products, at least Ford made their own parts.
@@elonmask50 As my brother says, Ford overdesigned the 9-inch, thinking their engines are way more powerful than they turned out to be, while with Chevy it's the other way around!
@@jacqeusmouton4005, yep, Chevy are certainly backwards, thank your brother for pointing that out.
@@craig8187 I know, just winding the Ford guys up! We vintage race a Chevy de Ville here in South Africa, (Holden HQ in Aus) and used the Top Loader for a time...did manage to weld the input shaft to the main shaft, though.
Cool ute mate , I ran carby on my Ls too in my torana , kept the old school look.
Cheers mate, they love the carbys on them hey, the carb makes them sound way better than EFI ls1s aswell I reckon
Killa ride mate
Nice work, well done!
Cheers mate !!
Awesome ute mate.
Love it. 👍
Cheers mate !!
Built tuff with US stuff!
Gotta use some of our American friends parts aswell mate haha
Prefect set up mate well done , shame the column shift had to go , would have topped it off
Cheers mate, yeah the plan for the build changed so much during the build, I wish I kept the collum shift now haha.
Excellent mate spot on (well, not a fan of the hurst shifter but) Hope you are still enjoying her on the regular. Cheers from SA.
Thanks for watching mate, yeah I wish I had of kept the 3 on the tree stick and hooked that up to the th400 but ahh well haha.
Perfect.not a sleeper but a keeper!
Haha definitely a keeper mate, cheers for watching.
Credit to ya mate, luv it !!
Cheers mate !!
Nah not enough blabbering mate. Give us more, this is a ripper!
There will be more on the ute, thanks for watching !!
wheels give it away
Down Coochin way 👍
After watching all these car mod shows any old car with a patina exterior is potentially a strip killer.
Haha gotta watch out for the sleepers mate
Call me old school, I hate car computers. So easy these days to use a modern HP Holley. (The ones with adjustable everything on them including air bleeds, 4 corner idle adjustment etc.) And a good quality A/F guage to tune it while on the road, like they do in America now. Don't even need a dyno any more.
Agreed mate, the Holley carbs are set up great from the factory, all we did was played with jet sizes and played with idle.
Nice build here just that owners ability to speak clearly and concisely haha. Just picked up a pettina hg ute and was lookin for abit of inspiration. I found some here 🖒
Awesome to hear mate, enjoy your build and thanks for watching :).
I had one , bought new ,liked the styling ok the trouble was in the build quality. The assembly lines of the day were shocking for quality control. I had at least a dozen faults under (12 month) warranty and probably as many that I didn’t find under warranty. Would have been a good Ute if it had been built properly. I later bought a well used XW Falcon Ute and it was a far better vehicle. Davox.
Cheers for the comment mate, I have no doubt that they had issues from new back in the 70s but then again I'd much rather the old cars over the new cars you see being built these days that all look the same haha.
I find it funny when people say, "the rear diff'". Is it 4WD or something?
Yes it is the 4wd HG ute...
no disrespect but the head liner is ripley above your head
Where did you get the rear floor pans ( in the cab)? Cant find them anywhere
Hey mate, they were from rare spares but, hit up fielders old Holden garage on Facebook and they should have them
it sure is a sleeper........the ute is pretty tough too BASICALLY
We would like to basically say, thanks for watching haha
What's the problem with the subtitles?
"Rare death"
"Alice 2 God's strength"
Really???
We hadn't watched it with subtitles on, but they are auto generated subtitles generated by youtube so unfortunately we cant change them , but they are definitely a fair way off what Dan is saying haha.
can anyone tell me exactly where that road is? been look for ages. is it near glass house??
Old Roy's road mate
@@aussieshedtalk7811 cheers been looking for ages
the exact location of that stretch of road used in the video ? I wouldn't mind taking some photos out there
Awesome stuff, New Subscriber #923 and we hit the bell, verycool old Holden ute, looking forward to seeing more, check us out when u get time Bro cheers 🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺 KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺😎🙂✌👍♥️🏁
Cheers mate, will check your channel out now :)
@@aussieshedtalk7811 thankyou my friend, We also build miniatures of your Ride/Cars, Street show race drag daily, you name it we build it, I'm and Old school panel beater fabricator by trade old school spray painter, cheers 🍻🍺🍻🍺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😎🙂✌👍
Why didnt he drive it?
We will get some driving footage this year mate, cheers for watching.
What headers did he use in this build?
They are custom made from a set of big extractors I had, a mate of mine chopped them up and made them fit.
Nothing wrong with a Carby mate
as a matter of fact they atomise fuel better......
as they draw in the temperature drops and cold air carries more fuel and depending on the overall set up it’s often the case that carbies make more Hp than fuel injection..... so don’t be fooled by that
Not to mention they are basically analog around......
so reliability factor is you don’t need a computer on hand to fix them up.....?!?!?
Looks bloody magic good Onya
That's it mate that's the whole reason I went that way, I just cop shit for taking the EFI set up off it but I love my carbys haha.
Has any one counted how many times Dan says basically 😂
It's basically his favorite word...
Music is really fuckin annoying
