I really like the sheetmetal work on that one!

 

Inverted louvers too......Tires have been lovingly used as well...... @ratamahata any more of 196?
The in construction pics are many times more interesting than the polished ones.
Thanks Rat...

I did a search and this is the Dick Flint Roadster...



Nice Hotrod...and its still around...

This is a great little car! Obviously a '26-'27 though they keep calling it a '22?

 

This one has been on and off Craigslist for the last couple years. I'd love to have it but I'm out of fun tickets and room!

I dropped in and saw Rod Hadfield on a recent trip to Australia. I personally like the ol guy and it is well worth the visit to his museum in Castlemaine Victoria.
Just a fraction of the stuff he has in there. Very clever man indeed,, cheers

 

The car is genuine but some of the facts were off here and there but the footage was cool and I still have a chuckle watching that fella driving it.

The owners did a great job in bringing it back. It would be interesting to see what it was like when she tracked it down.

She even called it a 22...maybe the chassis is 22 the body otherwise. Sometimes what's on the registration is best not questioned it could open up a can of wigglies...

 

It's really cool that so many of these distant bits of cool stuff going on are visited by many. This is a prime example of that. I'll bet it was a great time...Thanks for sharing some additional work by this automotive artist @deadbeat...​

 

This reminds me of those cars cruising around at the big car and jalopy racing events. Probably just a Crosly sized homebuilt fun thing that obviously saw time on the road.
But definately a part of the evolution of jalopydum...

@Stogy. Castlemaine in Victoria is a really cool old town and is regarded as the Street Rod Capital of Australia. Rod is very quirky and his museum is a must see if you are ever down that way. Full of all his stuff that he has built over the years. Cheers

 

I see a Jim Street Kookie influence in that Nasty T...I watched that Video and he seemed quite pleasant and knows his stuff for sure. Quirky is good...as in no boredom guaranteed.

@deadbeat is that a Rolls aircraft engine in that aluminium body Warman?

With motorcycles they say "Put a thrill between your legs"...with cars I guess its "Put a thrill under your ass"

 

is that a rolls aircraft engine in that aluminium body?

I was worried someone would ask me that lol,, I honestly cant remember. I do know that the body was completely hand made though and drives as he has had it in some local Parade apparently. I will check my pics but they were taken off my phone so not very clear, cheers

 

Looks like a Rolls Royce Merlin like in the Lancs and so many other historical Wartime Aircraft in other words lotsa power...

 

@deadbeat there's press on it...what a surprise huh......it's a Rolls from a Centurion Tank. Here's a little writeup with a little on Rod too......he has Hotrod and go fast in his Genealogy.

Cheers Stogy. Unfortunately when I was there you could get to see and appreciate that car because of where it was. He was doing some work on it at the time. It is a beast and I would love to hear it fire up, cheers

 

Hamber @steel29's Bowtie
up for grabs...lotsa love in this one...
Hope you had some fun with it...

I knew this reminded me of something and I found this...perhaps you already had made that connection...

A dwarf in the American Auto
Industry catering to those who find
Comfort in small packages...they packed a lot of style in that little framework...
I remember about 30+ years ago a younger Stogy was at a wreckers in Toronto and there was one of these sedans sitting on a shelf about shoulder height looking almost like a pedal car...never forget that day.

Iv never understood how you can call a car a hotrod when it can't even do a burnout without power braking it. With a big block? And the open exhaust iv never understood either. Maybe just me...not knocking anyone's car. But a hotrod should be a stick and be able to rip tire on command.

While I'm pretty sure my Roadster, even with its relatively small displacement, 3-spd stick, full length, no mufflers (open?) exhaust and no limited slip, should "be able to rip tire on command", I don't recall ever actually trying it.
Probably because I've never understood the point, especially after having seen many accidents and/or parts breaking during such (pointless?) activities.

 

Good answer

A very interesting Hotrod from Hamber @Jackalope 325's collection.

A wee tad of an accident caught
forever on film...hopefully all
ended without injury or damage...

@Jackalope 325 do you have any more history or other pics related to this tracknosed 34? We're all eyes and ears...

GREAT story,
like to hear from the guy who lost the ''29 to impound lot.....

 

Makes ya wonder...did the rightful owner show up after the fact. It could have been no money to release, wartime or even a parental pressure situation that sealed the deal for Harold.
