That's STREET ROD Nationals. Man that last "Caddy' on page 3 is beyond hideous!!!

 

Its a 52 to 54 Ford
With a chopped Caddy parked next to it

 

Oh man, its time. We have to come clean, its no use denying it anymore.
Australia is afflicted with Rat Rods too.
Yes.
It is true.

Anyway, WTF is that thing? Dodge?
Edit....
*I thought the side windows looked too square for Ford? Or am I just hopeing....*
Doc.

 

We all know the true nationals happen at Phillip Island!

 

I was told its a 54' ford. I always thought it was a car built in the states and imported here, not sure if someone told me that also or if i just pressumed so because it has a floor covered in U.S. number plates.
The Caddy has a poor chop, mostly bog (bondo) both cars have been around for awhile now.

 

Aarrgrgghhhhhhh.....

Which is why I never hightailed my ass there in the first place.

Ewwwww

Lucky's Chop Shop coupe is cool.

 

Anyone got any info on this? Built here or the U.S.?

 

Looks LHD, probably an import.

 

From what I know, it was built here in Oz...by Jake of the Dukes CC in Canberra.

Kool ride....

Rat

 

Well there you go! It is a nice looking car, we have such a small trad movement its good to see any car show up!

 

That's why I spelled "Caddy" in quotes in the first place (grille and bumper pieces). And it is still beyond hideous.

 

No, another import by Jake. It did have a blown flathead when first imported. Other changes were made for rego here.
Fonzie could have had plenty of photos at the Nationals but there were a handful of cool cars.

 

That is correct. You'll find pics of it in an early "Ol Skool Rods".

 

thanks for the pics. im coming over the ditch tomorrow and looking forward to checkin out your guys rides. the 32 with truck motor from elvis was great to see completed.

 

this is the 32.

 

52-54 Ford - Ugh - only its Mother could love something that ugly!!!

 

That 52-54 Ford with the Caddy front looks like something out of a Mel Gibson movie.
