plans are in motion in New Zealand to scratch build a Texaco Doodlebug, Steve and Sue Keys who just finished the restoration of the Diamond T Texaco fuel tanker, learned a lot about the Doodlebug, and well, it's time for a new project!


They've found another Diamond T 614 chassis and a Hercules Diamond T six-cylinder engine of unknown size along with front and rear axles, 10-bolt Budd wheels, a transfer case, and other smaller components including side vents and instruments. 

The plan is to have Simon Tippins and Craig Garland of Creative Metal Works scratchbuild the body, they were the crew that did the bodywork on the Texaco fuel tanker
