Extension ladder cars.....

[Bill]

First it was a 70's Roller on a mini car-crusher rig.

Then it was a late 70's Merc heading towards deep space, dunno how it
ever gets to go around corners....

Tonite it was a 265 Iced Vovo wagon grafted (plonked?) onto a
Landcruiser chassis. The retractable extension ladder was well
hidden....

There must be something in the water that is causing this elevated
madness. I wonder how they handle in a strong cross wind?

Cheers

Hmm, seen a couple of tradies store their 6ft ladders under the ute tray but
never an extention ladder under a 4be. Did see one on the roof of a stretch
limo once though.

guy in Brendale was doing this
whatever car you wanted he would convert it
saw a 71 Fairlane, a HR holden wagon and there was a two tone blue VC
Commodore wagon and a couple of XY Falcon utes(NOT the factory 4x4
models)

I thought the HR was on a Hilux chassis until I saw the steering wheel,
it was huge, much bigger than the standard Holden one, might have been a
Nissan G60 chassis maybe

No , the last time we spoke he was doing auto parts full time and built
the roller as an advert , was talking about doing a 911 with a blown
smallblock
