The GT falcon that hosed you off that day wont like you taking credit for HIS burnout brootal  

Nice pics brootal, glad you liked our display of cardboard and pizza boxes  
I took a few pics but never got round to putting them on the site, here's one of a different view, getting to the exibition building in one peice,  dodging crazy * taxi drivers and other loony drivers. It was amazing how much attention a bare metal merc gets driving around town  




OK time for a post hijack      Trying out something here. This is Tony's black and Silver "Black Widow" fiddy seven chevy doing what it does best at the Hot Rod Rumble. IF you were at the BBQ here on the friday night you would of heard him "practising" in my court as he left    These are screenshots of a video i took, anybody know how to upload videos here?

Pulling over on Calder Park Raceway:





going

going

And gone

I thought about  taking the tank cover away, but i kinda wanted the car to have a lakes look to it, so its "Streamlined"    37 truck Grille and sides grafted to a 34 hood, and stock 37 wheels.

I guess its sorta art in some way. Been building these things for about a year and a half-2 years now, lotsa fun creating cars wishing you could build in 1:1!
My F-1 "shop Truck"

36 Coupe

57 Ford, This was a big job getting all the stuff to fit in!

37 Pickem Up. Chopped, channeled over  a stepped frame. Injected Y Block powered

Heres the latest thing.
From This:

Whoopsie!

Im in trouble:

Hey, looks like a car again

All shiny and flashy again

Hey carps have they finally put push rods in lexies yet   Kinda looks like a futuristic mercedes
New models? Yup! Got a few done for the Rumble.. Just seen your mug on TV, Im guessing Greame will be most upset calling his sidetrim on the black merc pontiac stuff....its hand made baby! Greame (antique Auto Works) also built Adrians bare metal merc.

at least its not a SUZUKI    

Carps, I've been a lurker here for a loonng time, but after HRI temporarily died, i needed a new home    
Lotsa nice people here, look forward to meeting some of you.

Howdy all, another HRI refugee here. Im one of the younger hot rodders on the net, at 16. Have been a hot rodder ever since i could walk, and am now planning/searching for bits for my first car, a channeled model A RPU.  I live in a town called Diggers Rest, about 20 minutes from Melbourne, and around 2 minutes from Calder Park raceway. I have a website i've been doing for about three years : http://www.geocities.com/aushotrods, which I post pics from events I attend.
My dad has been into hot rods since about '61, I have some photos on my site from around 1964, taken at the then local dragstrip "Riverside Raceway". Very interesting to look at, some of the cars are still around today.
Here is what we get around in most of the time, when i can talk him into taking it out!


If not in the roadster, then this:

Roadster has a 351 Cleveland with 4 speed, 9 inch rear, wescott body on an original chassis. 4 bar front, ladder bar rear..leather interior..the 56 is basicly stock, but the motor is coming out and a 351 is going in one day, i am using the Y block in my RPU project.

Thats not what i read mick      Something bout suzukis?
Was sad to see it go, but if all the support HRI has had comes together, it shouldnt be long until its back online.
Hey i think i got the last post in too  

Hey guys and gals, another refugee from HRI. This would have to be one of the biggest stuff ups in Australian Hot Rodding history. The internet gives hot rodders the best way of communication, and they just shut the biggest Aussie hot rodding forum down!
Should I do an intro? I dont feel right posting without giving you guys a brief intro   :?
