G'day from Australia

G'day guys and gals from Australia.
New to the forum, have been meaning to join for ages.
Have been into cars since I can remember, but thankfully have been steered in the right direction towards traditional rods and kustoms.
Currently my wife and I own 5 'oldies', a 1950 Pontiac Silver Streak Streamliner, 1956 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, 1963 Chevrolet C10 panel truck, 1964 Ford XM Falcon coupe (Australian model) and a 1965 Ford XP Falcon coupe (also Australian model). The Falcons were the reason my wife and I met, and I can't bear to part with em. The Chevy is my daily driver for my business (I'm an electrical contractor, I wanted something that stood out a bit, I was sick of driving white vans etc). The Poncho and Caddy are our latest 'toys'.
Look forward to making some new friends and seeing some cool pics from around the world!
Cheers!
Brenton

Welcome from Northgate.

 

Thanks Ron and Jason. El Caballo, Northgate isn't too far from me as opposed to Michigan and Minnesota!! I've probably seen you out and about I imagine...

 

Welcome from Texas! I love chevy panels. I'm building a 55 for my shop as well; It's a cool way to stand out.

 

Welcome from Bakersfield California

 

Thanks Roughneck and EnragedHawk. Your 55 looks pretty good there, wish my panel truck sat that low!

 

Welcome from Newcastle Brenton,....thats a nice collection of toys you have there!

 

Thanks Chief! I'm pretty happy with the collection so far...!

 

Brenton welcome from Logan..lots of info and good people on here..all the best with the projects...Rod.

 

Welcome from another Aussie.

 

Hey from down the coast

 

Thought I'd post some images of my rides in case anyone would like to see them. If you see me out and about, come say g'day!
Hope I've figured this out right...

Hello Brenton and welcome from Colorado! I was just reading your intro and thinking to myself, I hope he posts some of the cars, when all of a sudden, there they were.
You got some very cool rides in the stable to be sure

 

Welcome to the HAMB. Love the 56 Cadillac.

 

Thanks Robber and Pakrat.
Hoping to make it over to the USA next year for either Viva Las Vegas or Lonestar Roundup!

 

Welcome from Indiana.

 

Howdy from Spokane. Nice rides, you chaps build some fine rods. Yer '50 Poncho turns my crank! Cheers.

 

Thanks 60 Ford and modelamotorhead.

Cheers

Welcome aboard Brenton. Great collection of cars you got there.

Glad you put the pix up Brenton. Was thinking of getting an XM/XP coupe 18 months ago,...decided to get something a bit more interesting - a '49 Caddy Club Coupe,..which ties in nicely with your Pontiac!

Tough choice which one to back out of the driveway in the morning!!

 

nice collection! loving the Silver Streak and the truck

 

All the best with the projects...their all on the road and looking fine..Rod.

 

Hey Brenton , nice Poncho ! I'm doing a 49 Silver Streak right now with my son . A low buck lowrider with a 4 /12" chop and air bags .
Welcome from the WET Coast ! BC !

 

Bloody hell Brenton
You are setting the bar pretty high
Dont you know there is only so much hot rod energy in the universe
and you are over quota.
Really cool rides , love xm coupes
Harry

 

I think I saw your car at Greazefest?

 

Shit mate you have a nice collection ,welcome from down south.........

 

Welcome from Indy. Nice rigs you got there.

 

Thanks guys!
Willyscoupe, got any pics of the 49?
Sorry Harry, nobody told me about quotas lol but I like having variety and the wife likes to cruise as much as I do so we have a few to choose from. There's still cars on my bucket list to own before I hang up the keys!
El Caballo, sure would have, maiden voyage with the Poncho last year to Greazefest!
