West Aussie Hot Rod Spectacular PICS!

OK. Here's a handful of the 350 or so photos I took!

Let's start off with a bit of a peek at Fred Nilan's AMAZING 5-window. Wow...



The People's Cars were there in force, and it was great to see.



Not really sure what Pete was complaining about???



Some old Cadillac showed up...



Hey Charger!



Tony Cro's car had some pretty neat details.



This beat up old hack got People's Choice. Not quite sure how he rigged that one!



Retro A's... Retro A!



Charlie's display. I was wondering why he was walking around ****!



The Clunksters' award winning club display.



Me and the boy.



A bit more 'art'.



Just part of the 'Entry Statement'



Joe Italiano's Chevy sedan is a stunning car.



Dun Rooten had a pretty cool display that showed a car from every decade from the 20s through to current day.



Gibby has GOT to find these wheels and tyres and put them back on!

 

Alasdair had a pretty cool display (as always!)



Nick Korkos's '34.



Sneak_e thought it would be a good idea to leave a bucket of textas and an invite to write on his Kombi. After he reads what I wrote, he may not think it was such a good idea!



Brock's Volksrod looks way better with the '35 wires.



Sure is good having a paparazzi lens!

Big Al:



rainmaker:



Nashty:



Murray in Red?



For the Holden fans.



The crowd on Sunday around lunch time.





The Kustard Slice



And since it's the 50th anniversary of the much loved '57 Chevy.



And of course, my pick of the show!

 

Great Show,Great Photos !
Those Holden Customs look incredible. How about some more pics of those unique Aussie cars.
Thanks,
G

 

looks like a great show, EK rear looks good any more pics....

 

Great pics as usual, don't know about that Rambler though....

 

I like the "entry statement"

 

Great pics as usual Boris. Any more of Fred Nilan's car? I gather it's not finished yet with no hoses or belts. Really looks a treat.

swifty

 

Yep, have plenty more pics.

Will post some more up when I get home. Working in the city at the moment (in between checking the HAMB, anyway!)

Well spotted though Swifty, Fred couldn't quite get the car done, but it's not too far off. Just plugs, hoses, a few screws etc. He doesn't like to rush things.

 

Thanks Brootal!
Looks like some nice stuff going on over there....See you at the Picnic next Weekend...?

Cheers

MAIKI

 

Nah, mate. Won't be there this year. Having a piss-up for my 40th birthday on Sat night, so make sure you and the boys have a beer or 40 for me!

Maybe next year, we'll see...

 

OK, I promise to drink to your B'day this weekend then.
I'll mail you a pressie then too!

PM me your Mail Address, and I'll send one of the Calendars your way !

Cheers

Maiki

 

Thanks for sharing, the building it is held in is incredible

 

Yeah, it's a pretty good venue, but it looks like they'll probably knock it down in the next few years. Will most likely end up being more hotel rooms or apartments...

 

that building is actually the worlds most expensive tent!
the whole building is pressurised with airlocks at the entry/exits, and the pressure holds up the soft domed roof.

 

Awesome photos. Charlie's roadster is killer!

 

Hey Brootal - thanks for the pics. Would love to see some more of the show.

Jimmy

 

Nice Pix Boris...and welcome to the 40's club, its all downhill from here mate. You comin to the Picnic?

And Mai Ki Ki....whers the clandars and my pix man? Im still waitin hehe !!

Rat

 

Since everyone asked so nicely.



No-one told Johnsy that customs have their bonnets shut!

Big-block Chev in this baby now.



Tony Cro's roadster



One of the best looking Aussie cars ever - The HQ Coupe!



A close-up of Fred's engine.



The Williams Bros EK



Another nice Monaro was in the foyer. This one is an HG.



The entry statement started off with a couple of 'fixer uppers'



Best car at the show!



Yeah, it's real and has been in a shed for 30 years!

Another great Aussie ute.



...and here's a chopped on for you. This is the same model car as the candy apple sedan.



A nice coupe that was built by one of the show committee members.



A full view of the Kustard Slice (it used to be yellow and white)



A couple of other committee member cars.





And finally, a gratuitous engine shot.

 

Nicd pix Boris thanx for sharin ....youve done a great job on the old Rumbler, Grandad would be proud man !!

Rat

 

Good stuff Boris, some nice cars indeed. Must say the rumbler is looking real good!!!!

 

Good pictures brootal, thanks for posting them-

 

those 2 holdens are interesting, the candy apple 4 door, and the chopped ute.
the red one looks like a 56 chev in front , and a 55 ford in back.
Did these cars have any interchange with the american cars?

 

No.

 

X38... always to the point!

Like he said, absolutely not one teeny weeny little bit!

They're about 3/4 scale to a Chevy, even though that model was released in '62, they look like a mid-50s car.

 

Brootal great shots,thanks for the pic's of the kustard slice.
Did the pic of me with the Jason mask turn out?.
Lookn forward to catching up with the other hambers @ the
Picnic.

 

What... this one? No, not really!
