Well.......
After a couple of interesting weeks going over so many things in the search of verification to prove if my van is a sandman or not due to no XX7 i am extremelly happy to say that with the asisstance of the oracle/Byron together we have worked out that...
HELL YES IT IS!!!!!!
I know that at the end of the day without the stamp im still lucky to own it but after wanting a true Sandy for so many years i just had to know the truth.
I said at the beggining of this thread that the XX7 for Acacia builts isn't the be all and end all, well it turns out once you really get into it that it isn't but at the same time it really is if you want to know for sure and not have to extend alot of time and energy having to prove it for your sake of mind and pride plus the value of you car!
When i take the car to local shows etc and promoting it to be a HQ Sandman i couldnt do it when i new in my heart that it couldnt be proven, so it came down to a matter of principles and just being persistent with research etc etc... but in saying that without the help of those with alot of knowledge i wouldnt have been able to do it.
The only way to be able to stand there with pride and say "yeah mate she's an original HQ Sandman" was to find out for sure and what if someone else knew their stuff and said "what about the XX7 mate".....now i can back up the validy with all the knowledge i have learnt from the help of the people from this one amazing website!
I can also say "Check the sticker at the back of the car mate and go to mysandman.com.au, they will help ya with any info u need"
Blocker get t-shirts sorted pls
So after finding out i got her out and polished ger within an inch of its life banged the new my Sandman sticker on the back and my photographer buddy came for a few blockies and grabbed a few sweet pics of her for me...ill post tomorrow when at work with a better internet connection...
Once again thanks Byron for your help and also for putting up with me, getting your stamp of approval was a great feeling after all the mucking around.
Also the comments from everyone else has been just as helpful...
Gotta save to come up for van nats next year.....
So thats it...or should i say IT IS!!!
Yes i am a happy man...
