You probably figured by now, that I like The Rolling Bone's built hot rods.

I used this roadster a while back one a Hot Rod magazine cover. Here it is again in a different setting and title.

A simple but affective cover.

Here's a cover using an image from one of Robbie's legendary photo shoots.

Saw this image online today and knew it would look good on a cover. Although I did play with it a bit.

Geoff, years ago I was given a photo of the Yellow A roadster.

It's one of those cars that sticks in your mind.

For the life of me I cannot remember who built is, and for that matter, what happened to it over the years.

Anyone got any details on this car? Was it Hodgey who built it? Where is it now?

 

Yes Mark, Hodgey built this, I saw it first time at the Great Aussie Rod run in SA in very early 90’s first time I met hodgey was that run. Remember him driving this roadster into the event it really was a stunning roadster. Meant allot to me and my hot rod development, was one of the first true flathead early yankie style builds IMO. I believe it sold into Adelaide to the same owner that bought the pink T Bucket also from Ballarat that ran a flathead with a 4 carb manifold

 

I’m thinkimg of running full fenders but the rear will be totally different in that I won’t use a tank cover plate as i’m not running a stock tank and have kicked up my rear frame horns to show the champ q.c I’m thinking the rear guards will get the treatment similar to the red coupe above whodack immortalised on a front cover

 

I like the way you think Tommy.

 

The 5W on this cover isn't as slick as the one on the last cover I showed. But to me it is just as neat.

Another for the '34 fans.

Found this image of an early A sport coupe on the HAMB today. I had a play with it and thought it would make a good companion on a cover with Peter Vansittart's improved A sport coupe.

hey Australian guys, got any decent pictures of the subfloor of a 34 roadster? I just picked one up and im looking for some ideas on how to proceed. Or if any of you guys have done it. Thanks guys!

 

This 3W turned up on a trailer on Facebook this morning. So I unloaded it and put it on a cover. As well as messing with the wheel sizes and lowering it.

I don't do many Rod Action covers, but I really like the feel of this one.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

How about s couple of model A coupes.

Once again some great covers Geoff.Thanks again for taking the time AND effort to do them.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Thankyou for the encouragement Woodbutcher.
Here is one featuring Brian Bass' '32 roadster. This cover has a real good feel about it. I reckon.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

How about another with a '32 roadster.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

And yet another for the pile.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

I am not sure about this cover, but I thought I would post it anyway.

Another cover featuring Brian Bass' roadster.
I really like this simple cover.


Geoff aka whodaky

 

I did a cover featuring a plane and a hot rod quite a while back.
Here is another. This one has quite a lot of irony about it. As the late Jim Ewing, the then owner of the Superbell coupe used in this image, was a pilot and later was to die in a plane crash.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

Here's one Tom will be interested in, as the purple 3W features a rear fender treatment he is contemplating for his Aussie 5W.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

Last one for today and I think it is a pretty good one.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

I came across this shot of the Buckaroo Motel sign and immediately knew what I would do with it.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

This one is a little different.

Geoff aka whodaky

 

Thanks Whodack, I think I will follow this lead as I always intended to follow a different path with this project.
