7:30am New years Day so I'm off to the annual Picninc In Da Park.
Unlike Christmas day it's not snowing , but te sky is dark and there's some drizzle about with thunder storms and heavy rain predicted. Global Warming? BAH! HUMBUG!
Enjoy your celebrations and have a happy and safe new year.
Happy new year to you to Carps
Dave :wink:
Happy New Year to everyone. May the new year bring great things to all of you.
I just came in from the shop where we had a couple of adult beverages and reflected back on last year. We decided it had been a pretty good one over all and we plan to make this one better.

Happy New Year to all. I had one glass of wine and went to bed, so I will be in better shape today than lots of people. :roll:
Now I have to get my butt in gear and try to keep one of my resolutions...................... TO HAVE A RUNNING, DRIVING HOT ROD BY SUMMER. :D :D :D
If I don't, I am taking up golf.

This Reo pick-up was built from a sedan.

I recon the perfect vanity plate for this one would be 30TREE, locally built two door woody has a matching teardrop trailer.

Art farty stuff.

Chrysler Corp took a slightly different approach to achieve the same effect as Cadillac.

This sucker has just the right balance of stock and hot rod parts.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/PCarps/HotA.jpg)
Another one you'r not likely to see each day. '40 Chev 'sloper' another uniquely Aussie body style. These pre dated the US Aero bodies by some ten years.

This one is just for DRD. When he came to Australia, I was pointing out to him some of our local models as we travelled home from the airport. Suddenly he exclaimed: "DID YO SEE THAT? I asked, "What?" With a great degre of surprise he said, "There's another one, a flatbed car!" It was kinda funny and since there's what seems like millions of the things here, it didn't even figure in my list of things I should point out as unique.
This is what he saw. This one a mid 1980s Holden One Toner. A truck based on car components, the logical extension of the good old Aussie Yoot. :wink:

How to get a cheap hot rod. Bu a cheap older resto lower it, paint it red xide over the original colour, add some caps and whitewall flappers, flame it, strip it and you're done.

'Bazza Oneleg' is a sick puppy and his Graffti Esque coupe gets driven everywhere. His lates modifications include rat and skull infested grille insert skull air cleaners, but ow about his home made skull headlamps. Each eye socket has a small motorcycle Halogen unit insterted with larger ones for high beam in the mouth cavity. Did I mention this guy is a sicko?

If you've just got to have a blower on your flathead, this is what it should look like.

The 'Big T' is longer and wider so there's room for a big Aussie bloke to spread out and get comfy.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/PCarps/bigT.jpg)
No question what this is.... It's called a Hot Rod. :wink:
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/PCarps/AV8.jpg)
This is the 1969 Holden Monaro, AKA, the Aussie Camaro.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/PCarps/Aussiecamarao.jpg)
This is what the '69 Monaro looks like from the other end.

This one is not what it appears, has the complete drivetrain and suspension from LS1 Corvette.

The '48 Anglia became famous, this is why the '47 Model didn't.

Hows Dolly??? :lol:
Quote from: "KustomLincolnLady"
Hows Dolly??? :lol:
Dolly's doing great. Currently she's on her honeymoon having just got married to a very famous race car driver after a whilwind romance.
She was doing a glamour shoot for Dolly Magazine based around the lifestyles of the rich and famous in the world of Formula One racing.......
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/PCarps/Dollyglam.jpg)
..... where she met a very famous young driver who swept her off her feet and now she is the new Mrs Dolly Schumaker.
Ted Schumaker's brothers Mike and Ralph are probably better known, but he's a nice guy although a tad short. However I'm told that's a prerequisite for being a famous F1 driver.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/PCarps/DollyandSchuie.jpg)
Hope it's a good one for all.
Thanks for the pics Carps...............Frank
Wow, she's been a busy girl!!!!! Looks like she's done well for herself. It will be a nice new yr for her!!!! :wink:
Good thing she's not the high heel type of girl, she's already taller then her new hubby :P or should I say "cubbie" :D
Thanks for the update, looking forward to the honeymoon pics :lol:

Quote from: "Rayvyn"My little girl runs off and gets married, and you don't even invite me... :?: :evil:
Nope she didn't run off, it was all plannned and well organised.
However, she and Ted did the invitations, so maybe there's a message for ya if you was left off.
On the other hand, Choco was invited but could not make it.
QuoteThanks alot, pal... :cry:
It was probably for the best anyhow, I don't think we could have coped with your uncontrolled sobbing at the back of the church.
QuoteChoco was right about you... :wink: :lol: :lol:
Hey, it's a matter of public record that Choco luvs me man! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
