Hot Rods Non U.S. hotrods- picture thread

heres some pics of the low flyers now

 

What did I miss? Which car was built with F1 parts?

 

Here's my Model A coupe. Imported from the UK.

 

This one. Andromeda...the follow up to Revenge..No idea what parts but i remember reading the build up and the builder is a serious Design engineer. When he built Revenge he designed the body built a 1/10 model, then a plaster buck from which he took moulds. he built the frame and everything on it..the headers were a work of art. that car had a bunch of Mclaren stuff on too

 

I'm sure there's someone on here with more knowledge than me about those 2 cars

 

Andromeda was built by Nick Butler I believe, but I could be wrong, Revenge definitely was.

 

Where are all the swedish guys?
Well here are at least my T, picture are from Power Hotrod Reunion.
This is the way it looked before i sold it.



And this is how it looks today.

 

Why can't you European men wear normal sized shorts?

 

wasnt andromeda built by geoff heald or something like that

 

cant find a photo of revenge so heres a drawing i did of it

 

NO......get with the programme Tim...It was Nick Butler...Defo. he built it after he did revenge and before he did Sonic.....probably sumat else in between though but it was Butler at Autoimagination

 

so who was geoff heald then cause i`m positive he was the owner when it was featured in street rodder back in 79...i cant check cause i gave edd the magazine

 

just looked on the timetravel gallery and .......i`m wrong as usual

 

I dig the red Zody custom, nice.
Keep 'em coming.

 

Tim, I did the same drawing in grammar school, mine wasn't as good as yours though.

 

Finally some imports that DON'T suck.

 

Mine's getting there ...







I'm quite happy about it as you can tell

 

Hey Ratty, there's a dude that looks just like you, except brown, peeking out from behind the door.

 

Hey, thats American me in the passenger seat with my pal Morton! I have some many cool pics...

 

great pics.

 

Here's a few from Calafell Spain(south of Barcelona). We were over there playing the High Rockabilly Festival this past September. I snapped these while I was there. Forgot I even had them until this post came up .

Don't know anything about them! If anyone knows who they are, I'd be interested in knowing! According to our taxi driver it's difficult to get old cars registered in Spain?

Blue and red coupes were outside of our hotel room, i'm thinking they are English though. The blue coupe's plate says Duksville...i'm guessing as in Duksville Speedshop?(www.ducksville.com):




These were snapped along the beach (wish i was there now!)





These were snapped outside of the show. Sorry, my flash wasn't so good...and i may have had one too many San Miguels...or Estrella Damm's..don't remember and my batteries were about shot. figures.

 

some more from west oz taken last weekend by pres. of the newly formed 1949-59 ford V8 owners club Rick Rudeforth .







Ricks car is the tan/green mainline..

also some pics from the John Barlow memorial run , also thanks to Rick for these pics .

 

I've been helping a friend restoring Andromeda, It was built by Nick Butler for Geoff Heald who ended up in prison for stealing the money from his employer to build it. Unfortunately it may look awesome but the build quality isn't as good as it appears, For instance the ackermann is a country mile out of line and it steered really badly, All fixed now.

 

Thats my Mum

 

Yup , car belongs to a chap called Lang from the Detonators CC I think , up for sale just now ...




Lowflyers are still out there too ...

 

thanks for clearing that up langy...i knew that geoff geezer came into it somewhere along the line

ratty...the colours fell off your tat
