Hi everybody, my name is Abel Afonso. I`m a brazilian born portuguese but for the past seven years living in South Africa. I`m married and have a 5 year old son that is also crazy about cars like me!!!
We are busy restoring our 69 australian Ford Fairlane 302 v8 and we started on the 23T bucket project.
As in this country is very hard to find restorable T bodies(IF THERE ARE ANY) and also the hot rod industry is "crawling" as it were, i decided to build my own body. Is coming out pretty nice, but there is a lot of work...(can post pics if anyone is interested)
I`ll need the help of you guys as i`m not a machinist of a professional bulder, but am a go getter and try make things as perfect as i can get.
Thanks for the opportunity
A Afonso
