    The car looks sick! I always said the XB coupe was the best looking car from Australia, I really love how you’ve done the interior. The only thing I would change is the transmission.
    When I see a XA/B/C it always reminds me of the near V8 sounding rumble the 250 engine made at idle

    Well Cam, your a bloody rare commodity. You drive Supercars Sprint Cars NASCARS. Your not new age, your genuinely old school and unlike most of the drivers in Supercars you are not afraid to show your true allegiance. Possibly the best body shaped Australian Ford ever made. Then you made a rough diamond shine. Dam I wouldn't mind doing a flat out lap around Bathurst with you in that. So pleased for you. Congratulations on a top build

    Bloody awesome Cam. Need it outside in the sun so we can get a better look. We need to hear it. On the road. You need to find someone called Barry. So u can use Bisleys line from Mad Max. Kick er in the guts Barry. Hopefully ya can make it to the Hardtop Anniversary next March in Tassie.

    Lovely car, the X series coupes were the best, but from what you've done I'd call it a custom build in an XB body/front grill nothing else is XB. But great build.
