Just a few more from me that are different from the pics the other guys have posted.
Pauline cruzin early Friday.






























Rocky.

 

You had to admire that little T and that 4 Banger Motor was in an Anglia I believe.

 

firstly thanks for all the pics. hanging to get to another nationals. Any chance of pics of the outside of the anglia with all the aquaplane gear ?

brandon

 

This is it ,,

 

RoddyB34, Is the young guy that owns this little Anglia related to you?



Rocky.

 

,,,,Does it show that bad,,yes thats my boy,,

,,,and the car came from Maiden Gully Rd ,,

 

I remember meeting a guy named Wal ? , at Bendigo swap meet , he had a cool ol shop outa Sydney ,Diablo's ? , he was into these old 4 banger side valve engines for use in hotted up boats.

 

Yep. I know the garage it sat in for a long time.I know the guy's name,but it won't come to me at the moment. He had the 38 coupe many years ago. It is now owned by Yogi Petts, here in Bendigo.

Rocky.

 

Neil Hunt ,,,i also bought my 34 tub from him 34 years ago ,,

 

thatnks for the vids HOTFR8 its amazing how many of these awesome cars i missed due to them all moving around. i guess the trick is to stand still

 

That's him. Gerald in Ballarat is doing the body work on his current 34 tourer at the moment.

 

Thanks RoddyB34 and Rok 51, and nice. the same thing is currently happening to my ford ten. great to see someone else doing something a little different from the street rod theme these little things normally cop over here.

 

We had a Ford 10 as a family car 35 plus years ago.Ive just been offered one plus parts for 500 bucks, just gota get it and hide it with the others from the cook ! haha

who does those heads ?

 

Kuztom, new ones can be had from http://www.ford-aquaplane.co.uk, they're a part of small ford spares over there. Along with a fair bit of other cool stuff for these marks.

 

Just a quick note to pass on my thanks to all rodders and organizers of the nats this year, as my son (that's him in the little red T above) and I had an absolute blast all weekend. It was well worth the huge fuel bill to drive over from Perth. Can't wait till the next one.
Special thanks to Deano for running the mini rod events for the weekend. Top job mate.

 

yeah, I remember your Sons serious face when the mini rods were cruising to the track a pricless time for you & him.....

 

this thing had a 732ci motor, over 1100 hp naturally aspererated

 

Neil told me that Anglia came from St Arnaud before he sold it to you

I can not take any credit for the videos but I have to agree I am still being told about Cars I did not see. As for seeing it all you either have stand still or move a lot faster

You came over from Perth ? (Avatar says Bendigo ???) Any way I believe your Son won the Mini Rod event so well done. Great little mini Rod.

 

agreed, that thing was awesome. my son wanted to take it home, i told him the kid who wons it mite not be happy with that. guess i got another project, makin him one

 

Looks like a huge turn out. Wish I was there. Pictures look great, thanks for sharing!

 

Yeah, chevute. I was wondering about your avatar as well.

Rocky.

 

Yeah, I changed my avatar the other day. Wife likes it more there so we decided to stay. Drove from Perth to Geelong, then back to bendigo where we are staying at the moment until we find a house to rent or buy. Apparently it's too hot in Perth these days, hence the move. I'm not totally opposed as the hot rod scene is millions bigger and better in Vic. Just have to fly back to WA for work each fortnight. Sorry to confuse.

 

OK, That commute must be a pain. Make sur you make your self known to a few of us that is if you do not already know a few of us

 

Lots of cool cars there, thanks for sharing the pics. Does anyone please know who owns the red bucket? I'm trying to get hold of them. Cheers.

 

It looks like a customline that Buck Rogers could have owned.

 

hi mate , i'm from geelong good to see some home town pics, i didn't get to go my wife was due for our first born that weekend. but looked like is was ok besides the weather..... a few mate were there.
cheers darren

 

good to see

 

that blue ute looks like a 50 single spinner ute that someone has added some kind of funky extra cab. each to ther own.....
