Puff the tragic waggon
 
You'll all surely be familiar with the old folk song of almost the same name. This is a multi-part story of a Chevrolet C60S through it's days in the service of Hornsby Heights Bushfire Brigade through it's disposal to a farmer, it's rediscovery and eventual resurrection by members, past members and friends of the Hornsby Heights RFB and their 4500 man-hour project.I was sent these pictures and the story back in September last year but have only just had the time to put them into a series of pages. More to come soon...

another one
 
I have been helping another group at Albion Park with some parts for a ford they are restoring. One of their members found the blitz in Yass when they were driving through once.

Puff......
 
Man...I am so tempted to stencil that on the bumper of my C15A!

So...cool...and so retro!

:thup2: :D

In part two, we see how Puff was on the verge of extinction. :eek:

Is that Max in the photo, if not it is a long lost brother.

Good to see another one saved

In part three we see a transformation, and new life is puffed back into the waggon.
