Quote "Laws in NZ suck when it comes to HotRods ".
I would have to hearterly disagree with you on that... we have a system designed by hot rodders for hot rodders. It ensures that someone who has never built a rod has a sensible set of "guide lines" to follow. Notice I say guidelines not rules because thats what they are ...based on best practise from people who have built cars for 50 + years plus good engineering practise. Along side of that is an organisation of professionals who go out of their way to help answer questions. Ok there are some things that would appear annal at first glance but you can work around some of it. Safety and good engineering is the basis for the system. ("Declaration"..I am in no way connected to or part of the said organisation). Also we would be the least picked on group of car enthusiasts by the law. I wouldn't be a ricer racer for quids. I can't really say more than that except to say there is nothing in there that a sensible person building a hot rod wouldn't do to ensure the safety of the people(family) riding in his/her car.

Great job. Lotta good work there. I did notice something different, other than the steering. Will the brackets let you put the front brake calipers on the rear of the hub? I know you would have to swap sides to keep the bleeders on top, but it might allow you to run shorter brake hoses. Need some profile shots when you get a chance. Nice.
I also noticed your side mirrors, up high. I tried mine in the same position and found I liked them better at the bottom of the post. If yours will move, try it and let me know what you think.
Hope the local laws allow it.

I prefer em up hi cause I'm 6' and sit quite hi so the mirrors are virtually at my sight level where they are. If I lower them I would have to look down to use them.

that is "KEWL" (or a proper abomination of the word COOL given your unique ride!) Would love to visit NZ sometime, beautiful country!
