Event Coverage 2011 australian street rod nationals, geelong victoria (pics)

no front brakes so im guessing no rego

 

yeah that did occur to me just tryna work out the logic behind putting fenders on a drag inspired car??

 

quite a few t buckets

 

Its registered with no front brakes. "T models didn't have front brakes."

 

t models also didnt have blown arduns...

 

still more now this was my favorite car for the day what a sleeper heard it running i thought no fkn way it was of its head sensational loved it









kriddys cool pick up

 

yup i may be wrong blown v8 no brakes no rego

 

jeez i didnt even pay much attention to that beige one, pretty cool.

 

and the worst number plates he could possilby have on it

 

I like everything about this rod. Fn' A!

i dont doubt its an awesome car. just sayin it looks better without the fenders and with the zoomies it normally has

 

this was very nice

 

if you heard it run mitch you would have been all over it i know i did it sounded very very wild

 

i fell in love with this car!!!! is that an olds motor??

 

thats it im done

 

Thanks FUZZYBEAR.
Wow- nice new work on the 'RATROD' 'T'. Diggin' whitewalled jag rear 'T' too.

 

It is registered and legal to the letter of the law. It didn't have fenders when first shown.

 

slicks, no fenders, zoomies, no front brakes, yellow windows, gearbox ontop of the floor. if he can register a car like that so can i dammit!!!

 

didnt relise that. ijust thought without front brakes and v8 it would not pass rego. hats of to rod very cool car

 

It looks good! .. no front brakes?= *~*%$#!%@?* how does that work?

HEY! - One for one, pound for pound, it rules to see the Aussie Nats has the best quality showing of rods ANYWHERE.

We are #1 people !.

Dig Cahill's '34. Front end looks good & right for Banana roads.
That cream 3W with BIG HP may make me weep, it's drop- dead so fine.

 

you're not wrong spoggie there were some seriously cool cars there, id say one of the best shows ive been to in a while.

 

You guys in Australia are getting it done..great representation. Thanks for the pics.

 

Thanx for taking the trouble to post all your pix. Looks like a great time. I'm on a Model A thing lately... so here's the one that caught my eye. Gary

 

Great pics. I'm guessing you guys HAVE to run those funky little fenders? Or is that just an aussie thing?

 

YOU HAVE TO GET OUT MORE. CHOPPED 2011?

 

yeah mate rego laws are pretty tight over here. you gotta have some sort of covering over your wheels. tho they seem to "dissapear" from alot of cars after the cars been registered

 

Once you get the vehicle through inspection, how strict are the police about enforcing the fender laws? Someone else said you couldn't run a blower either? Whats the story on that?

Just curious...

 

i think it all depends on the coppers, some dont seem to worry about it. also it seems more cars have their fenders on at bigger shows and off at smaller shows (dont know if thats because of a bigger police presence or what). blowers are ok as long as the belts/pulleys etc (moving parts) are covered by a hood or some sort of guard and it dosent obstruct the drivers view

 

See the quote marks? Rod's words, not mine. Last I checked, 27 litres with a blower was too big for a 55 Chev too.
