Since you've got some (unacceptable word) reason for not coming on the garage crawl.

There's a garage crawl? Where? When? Can I come?

There's a garage crawl? Where? When? Can I come?

My Club is having one in June or July.  Starts at my place, shame the garage may be empty by then.

Did I mention how much I hate bloodsucking ambulance chasers?

I just hope you 'murrricans know what you're getting yourselves into inviting all the ratbags over here to mess up your fine board with strange language and all their irreverant jokularity.  I figure if the people back home can't see the humour in their wit, what hope have you guys?    :?

And for you Aussies, this is not just like coming home for Dolly, it's her birthplace, so don't you be givin her any lip, coz she's got a couple or three friends here.

A pic of my new ride, it is currently still in California awaiting shipment. I intend to lower it heaps and run a hot flathead, maybe blown, not positive at this stage. Last car was a 32 Ford V8 sedan, original flathead, nice car, drove it almost every day. You can see I am a flathead man, have a lot of bits collected in my shed.

This feels like home, except for the "nice yellow" background.
Hi Guys and Girls.
A little about me for those who dont know me (most of you Im guessing).
My username. It originated from my roundy racing days, I often drove with one arm resting on the door, under race conditions, and was nicknamed Mr Cool because of this driving style.
My cars. Just completed a '29 A tudor and about to be fully registered, the ASRF can stick their SR plates (limited rego). Runs a late model injected 5.0 engine, T700, BIG brakes etc.
Also have my original roundy racecar - an ex-bathurst Group C touring car, under construction a 28 Chev roadster pickup for a work truck and a blown/injected 5 litre in a little pommy Mk2 escort.
Was a member of HRI for about as long as it was alive, and need my daily "hotrod fix".
I tend to be a bit of a stirrer of some sort, so if I offend anyone, let me know and I'll back off a bit.
I'll post a pic of the cars when I get a chance.

April 19 if I'm not mistaken Brootal. You're expected to have your new fancy pants camera in tow.

Can I say fancy pants?

your supposed to be the official foto-gra-fer and document the whole thing!

[Jahoota]

jahooooota, I'm doing an A for someone at the moment, beam axle front etc. You should take a peek some time. Since you've got some (unacceptable word) reason for not coming on the garage crawl.

I think an in-person checkout of that south Winsor address is in order. Not overly convinced about quality from the website.

AJ works at ozrods now. maybe you should chase him re. the vicky tourer body whereabouts etc.

I will indeed potter over for a peek at the A at some stage as it looks like kids sport will consume my saturday duties on the scheduled morning of the clubs gargage/beer crawl.  

I reckon I'm about 12-18 months off buying a body. That time frame should sort the newer tupperware players from the stayers!  Those AJ's bodies appear to have ended up at Tamworth.  The Hot Rod Factory up in brisbane claims that they will also be making this style of body.

There seemed to be a nice blue one floating around valla (from what I can see from the pics) but I havent seen a feature on it yet or attempted to track down the owner to find out where he/she/it got it from.

Cant see me plonkling good cash down with any of the current 3 players of this style of body without a good hard look first!  The words "road trip" spring to mind.  I wonder if pete osbourne in NZ has a mold for these style of bodies  :?: Think I'll have to go google that...

[X38]

jahoota, I've been to the Hot Rod Factory, so I can talk to you about that. The Tamworth dude has a website. Unfortunately not all body styles are photographs. That's a ? So we'll have to see. Literally. Besides which, you can't trust photos anyway.

There must be at least one finished one of this phantom body styles around town you could track down - I've seen a black/BBford one at the Bobbin Head run for starters.

G'day everyone, yes i'm another of those HRI Refugees looking for a new home.
Don't have a rod at the moment, but I'm working towards that.
I have been calling in here for a while now but never registered.

Anyway thanks for having us.

Greg.

I'm fresh off the HRI. Man, I had a short life there. If I can figure out how, I'll post my wheels.[/img]

I'll save you the trouble.

X38 has one of the most horrible '32 roadsters I've ever seen!

Look at this POS!!!



It's always filthy and he clearly doesn't look after the thing!



See! The bloody fenders fell off!



Man... I love that car!

Did someone scan the pic backwards? Seems the steering wheel is on the wrong side!
Nice ride....
Im thinking this board is gonna get interesting...............

A couple of days ago you folks from down-under did a great job in welcoming me to your site.  Now I get to return the favor.  WELCOME!!!  I really enjoy your style of banter and am impressed by the photos you have posted.  Keep hanging around and don't worry about making fun of anyone here.  If these folks don't have thick skins by now they shouldn't be on the board.
Once again, welcome on board.
Don.
