HOTROD BLOWOUT 2008 New Zealand

The olds is not certed or WOF'd, the owner did the dodgy drive down (not far) and we were hanging back just in case we ran over any bits that fell off it on the motorway. Its going into the shed for a re-build (same shape, just a tidy and fix up.) so it will no doubt be a year or-so till it re-surfaces again, if anyone is interested (in auckland) in having a look at progress, or drinking some beer at it, drop us a line... and yes, hands are well full, and pockets are empty.
there is more photer's of it here: www.myspace.com/chromecountycustoms

Who owns the dragster with the Kiwi Konnection logo on it and is that grease in a couple of the pics??? It's hard to tell without welsey by his side. One of these days we're gonna make it over.

 

Yeah thats Grease - Wellsy was there too in his too cool roadster.
The dragster is an original 1965 car owned by Paul "Pins" Sattler

 

Yep - Grease was there and having a ball. Wellsy's Caddi powered A Roadster is in those pics as well - looks like he lost a piston on the drive up. The "Vindicator" digger is owned by Paul "Pins" Sattler - another Whakatane member. First season with a "new" blown SBC and he's got down to 7.8 sec taking it easy it off the line - it skyhooks if he floors it. Has an "on loan" onboard data recorder that I look after - from Grease & Andrew's Flathead dragster...

Noddy

 

Yeah thats mine - its on the HOP UP site this month and also been on here a bit as Project 29 when we built it in the New Zealand Hot Rod Magazine
