Hot Rod Blowout pics

Another pic of bruce's 6 x 2's

 

Here's a few more

 

You guys have it all over there. Great cars and great waves. I think I need to imigrate.

 

I knew Australians and New Zelanders had an interset in antique cars and antique machinery from research on my 28 Buick. I never knew thay had such cool rods. They are my kind of cars. Keep up the good work guys.

I really like the black chopped 3 window even thou the owner is GAY!!!!!!!!!!

 

haha yeh so gay I'm thinking about putting cream wheels and whitewalls on it

 

Yep.You forgot about the fenders, Rob

 

I think that is about right.Greg Webster is the owner/builder(President of my club back home, Franklin Street Rodders). Entire car home built, started life as a 4 door 34 Chev Sedan.It goes like hell as well as looks like it does.

Dang steering wheel is on the wrong sice and my wife would have to drive it all the time!

 

Whadda Fuck? Australians have NOTHING to do with the Hot Rod Blowout..... Except Ricki but he won't admit that he is Australian.
Australia is a different place far away in a different world across the ocean ....thank GOD.

 

and you think we dont say the same!

surely you have been accused of being a pom or Aussie. You've only got one Aussie over there? Geez, theres free trade for you!

cool cars all the same

 

now now, boys and girls...play nicely.......BTW the one true reason why you guys have what looks like to be more "cooler" rides, is because your laws are more relaxed than ours and hence, plenty of these mods are out there for all to see.....go underground here in oz and see whats happenin we got the goods too .........at least we know what the sun looks like and dont have to scrape frogs, snails and moss and shit off our rides every mornin....ahahhaaa...only jokin..........Love Bert

 

Awesome cars over there. Thats one of my blower tops on that 6x2 setup

 

Hey fellows sorry about the Australian connection. I'n not trying to get you riled up. I guess never being there alot of us yanks consider it kind of the same. I just write a few Aussues about Buicks and they seem like good guys too.

Bert...... at least we dont have things over here that kill ya! Poisonous snakes, funnel-web spiders..... you Aussies are in the best place for Aussies to be! LOL! Ricki is on a good behaviour bond...... if he misbehaves we'll send him back, then we'll be truly Aussie-free....

 

Yep we know a lot of you guys see Aussie and NZ as the same place , we get along fine it is just a bit of a game , we like to wind each other up too, jokes and sarcasm about sheep rooters, and convicts get chucked across the Tasman ( the ocean between us) , but in reality we all get along better than it would seem. It must be tough to build a legal rod in Aussie, lucky for us somebody beat the bureaucrats at their own game and negotiated a set of rules and laws which are quite liberal and controlled by hotrodders .
see www.lvvta.co.nz and www.hotrod.org.nz

 

you know as well as i do that its only a matter of time 97. the govt will yet again stick its nose into our lives and dictate to us what is 'best for us'.

and so some know, my real name is ricki....the aussie that is mentioned above, and the partner of emma - owner of the chopped and slammed 54 desoto. over here after being exited from aussie for having relations with a girl that wasnt my direct family. hahaha.

 

Sweet pics Mr Morrow. You should be sellin' those at events!
Cheers for postin' them.

 

Yeah, I'm a frustrated Kiwi living in Oz as we can't build hot rods they way they should be built. No fenderless highboys here. To many laws and hot rodding here is 10 years behind the USA and NZ. There are very few rodders here who know what a real hot rod is. Also to many politics within the rodding scene instead of getting on with the deal, building hot rods and being able to enjoy them without looking over your shoulder in case someone dobs you in.

 

Great photos Alistair.

Nice to have caught up with you on the day. Real sorry to hear about Aaron.

Give our regards to the folk at Wellsford.

Ian (Alfster) & Val

 

Thanks Ian
appreciate your sentiments.
Thanks for looking thru the photos.
Aaron probably would have come down with me to this event; he came through to Kumeu and really enjoyed it; however it was not to be.
Al

 

Here's one for you Alfster; haven't seen it posted here.
I like the plaque stating you club affiliation.

 

Thanks for posting the pics!

 

Excellent pics tanalised! Haven't seen any photographers in NZ with such good pics. (I like the more arty shots - rather than the picture where you just put the camera on an angle....)

 

Kia ora bro
Thanks for the support. It's amazing what you can do with a program like photoshop! The scope for expression is endless. These 'rods ooze class and style and are a great subject.

 

Grew up in auck .hated the place .rains 4 days out of 5 .everything rusts,the dollar is worth nothing and brown hates white to death .PASS.lovin it in ozzy past 26 yrs. More rods .more parts more of everything rodding related.and sunny days almost always !

 

Great pics thanks and that V-12 flat head is WILD.........Jack

 

yeah, and fellow hot rodders who dob you in if your car managed to beat the aussie system, so they whinge out of jealousy. and you also get the joy of being able to build hot rods that have to have fenders and make the otherwise said car, very ugly in most cases. and you get to pay stupid amounts of money for registration each year, versus our $80 a year. and you have to tolerate a bunch of poodle skirt wearing wannabees who know jack shit about cars, but they listen to elvis, so they must be hot rodders.

and mate, im an aussie, but i prefer living and hot rodding in nz anyday. and we aint soft like the aussies. top down, rain or shine, we're out there loving it.
