Missing Kiwi Custom

HARRY Orpwood found this pic from, we think, the late fifties. It is a custom under construction in Hornby, Christchurch, by a very early Rodbenders member Merv Monk. Does anyone have any info on this car, even what it was built from or more pictures? Probably long gone, but who knows?

From Craig Stare.
