An Aussie's view (literally) of the Hot Rod Reunion.

[Brootal]

First off, I must give credit where credit is due. These pics were taken by Grant Zippel, an Adelaide Hot Rodder who visited the States last year.

He sent me a CD with a HEAP of pics and I've gone through and uploaded a few to my website (about 200 of them!). The plan is to do a few web pages up for Grant as the pics are just so good I had to share them.

Here's a taster...

We've got cool customs...

Long skinny ones...

Nice pics!

Anyone know anything about that cycle? I really like the dirt track look more than the OCC chopper look that seems to be the rage right now.

That Howard 12 port is absolutly the best!

Yup, Grant did a great job! He also got lots of ink in the newest Newsledder, including the full cover! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Now if he could just get back to working on his radical full kustom 57 Chevy. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
