I keep forgetting that you're legally required to have a car RHD converted if you're bringing it into Australia.

I think I've mentioned it before, especially as it was lost to the wildfires that devastated Malibu, CA in 2018, but I love the Dave Cunningham "Li'l Beauty" 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan.

Though always sectioned and channeled but unchopped, it had been through several iterations at this point. I prefer it here--resurrected by Bill Roach--for its RWL blackwall tires and, if I remember correctly, 1956 T-bird wire wheels.

I'm less thrilled about the single paint color. Here it is earlier with white accents.

In its earliest forms, the fenders hadn't been cut so wildly but the rears had been radiused. It also had great side pipes that may or may not have been functional (if functional, end plates could be removed and exhaust gases would take the path of least resistance).

The Rick Hunt "X-Ray" isn't a GNX, it's an '87 Turbo-T. It has all the parts that make a GNX but it wasn't part of the original run from ASC.
