intro from an old bugger.

[34 GAZ]

G,day all,Time to sign up, My name is Henry, i,m 50 years
old and saw my first rod in about 1960 . It was a channeled
32 FORD roadster pickup,cycle gaurds and nerfbars.Dark green and chrome.The place was Tootgarook Vic Australia.
Its been in my head all these years so i guess that makes
me a rod-nut.Now i live in Europe and drive a 32 ford
Tudor(RESTO) Projects are 34 GAZ (RUSSIAN FORD) and a
Topolino that one day will get its 6 carbed V6 alfa engine
fitted.1917 Dodge pheaton and an A40 austin convertible are
waiting as well.Promised the wife to finish the house first,
That was 15 years ago and it still ain,t done.

G,day Hatch, It took me an hour just to figure out how to place the intro.I,ts almost 10.00PM over here and i,m of for a night shift so i,ve got the whole night to work out
the photo thing. (if i don,t fall asleep) Security gaurds
get paid to sleep .What a great job i have.

[34 GAZ]

hope the photo of my 1934 GAZ comes out OK.

[34 GAZ]

This is addictive but i gotta get to work.
This is the GAZ dashboard. (34 ford)
At the moment the car still has its 19 inch
ground clearance. Ugly old thing isn,t it.

Ya gotta realize though, that in Australia, (and in the Netherlands, and parts of Montana, and most of New Zealand, I've heard) being called a Bugger is way higher on the social ladder than being called a common Sheep Fucker! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Welcome to the HAMB and get some more shots of that Rusky Ford to show us please! Scratch that, I see you're posting them as I type!

[Missing Link]

Did they paint all those Gaz's RED? Just wondering... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Welcome abroad.

[Brootal]

I saw "GAZ" and I saw bugger and I thought "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!" http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I see I was wrong on the Gaz bit (for all you Seppos, Gaz is short for Gary... as Daz is for Darren and Waz is for Warren... you get my drift).

There's plenty of other Aussie Mexicans on here, you might even know some of them.

Welcome to the HAMB.

[AHotRod]

Well, your no old fart...or if you are, then that makes me one too !
Welcome to the Jungle!
What vine are you going to swing on ?

[hatch]

GAZ!!!!!!!

[55olds88]

exellent..... love those Gaz utes, musta been an Aussie there before you http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
And Yup like DRJ says A bugger is a step up from the common and garden sheep F*cker http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif generally they are too old to catch the sheep http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif:)

[BELLM]

Welcome from one "old chap" to another, except I'm older. Cool pics! You could make a mint shipping us those old Gaz artillery wheels! More photos!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[RocketDaemon]

hi and welcome..

btw i really would like to own a 34 gaz grille....

[SlowLearner]

Hi and welcome old bugger! I'll become one in two months....started a few years ago scrounging up parts for my first car (hence the name).
Had never heard of a "Gaz"! (Why I love the HAMB!)
Yeah, lots of ground clearance on that thing....(I'm thinking 4x4 drivetrain http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif) Nice grille...wheels...and I'd KEEP that funky steering wheel (real ones have 4 spokes!) Not only that, it's got a HEATER! Canadians have an eye for those things. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[34 GAZ]

Hi flatordead,thanks for the extra photo,s. If anyone
takes the time to count the hood louvres they,re in for
a surprise.The GAZ cars came with a straight 6. Plenty of
room for a V8 under there.

[34 GAZ]

Aussie utes rule.There is a souped up FX ute here in The
Netherlands but i lost track of it about a year ago.

[55olds88]

Hard case Gaz, its amazing what turns up where, I hooked up with a guy in the UK Holden club when over there 12 or so years ago, was a bit weird, saw a couple of Valiants and an Aussie early 70's LTD too, it was sticking out about 18 inches wider then the other cars parked on the side of the road in london http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Mart]

Hey, Henry, nice to see you on here. For any that don't know, Henry is my numero uno parts pimp. Well, the secrets out now. Dont forget I need one more kh wire. (as if you would forget)
Mart.

[34 GAZ]

Thanks all for the kind word,s.
Marts Old Rusty does indeed have a place in my heart.
BTW, I ,m only a part-time parts pimp. Actually i,m my own
best customer.I tend to keep everthing i find. Never get rich that way.
