Event Coverage Kustom Nats 2010 Phillip Island Australia

The main day is today, but I went Friday and Saturday so here are some photos from the Foreshore party Friday night and some I took Saturday afternoon. I'm sure those returning tonight will have new photos as on the way home I saw a heap of cars heading down.

was a good weekend all in all, again a credit to Chopper , his boys and all those who help make it happen. I took the family down so didn't take the roadster. Saw striper and Martin heading down as I was heading home.

Great photos mate! It seems to be a great event.

 

We were coming down but wimped out when we saw the weather forecast...

 

There are some really nice rides across the Big Pond. Looks like a kool get together and thanks for the pics.

 

I hear you, we went down on Friday with my 2 year old and 8 week old in the olds - no AC, I'm surprised my wife didn't skin me alive. But apart from saying it was hot, she didn't say a word.

Much nicer trip home this morning.

surely some of Sundays attendee's have made it home and have some photos to show?

 

Nice pics, your folks were still having fun when we left this arvo. The traffic off the Island sucked.

 

Thanks Flatoz- nice 'Ruby '54 . Sweet paint. Local build ?
FB/ EK's scrub up good like this too.. Makes me want a car shed.

 

Thank you for making the effort to post pics

Saw the Olds too late to wave this morning Corey. Had a brief word to your old man today.

That '57 Fairlane had something about it. Not a car I would usually give a second look but that one I did.

Not sure I'll make the trek next year. I'm rooted tonight. Long drive, hot weather and more mechanical problems than I've ever had in a single day. Still better than golf though. I have to thank the Vultures and Kardinals for their patience with my heap of shit today. I have some work to do.

Great shots.

Love the "Old Skool" look and some real nice pin striping and lines being laid down.

It's nice to see how others are doing it and keeping the memories alive.

Thanks for the shots. Jimbo

 

1. Sheared the bolt that holds the yoke from slipping off the spline on my open drive conversion on the banjo. No biggie. Done it before so I had a spare.

2. Clutch linkage lost a screw and dropped off. No clutch.

3. Got hot coming in due to some fucker stopping for 5 mins at the exit to the tunnel under the track.

4. Clutch fork pivot bolt worked out. No clutch again. Might get some more Loctite.

5. Ran like shit first 30 mins coming home. Adjusted timing and seems OK.

6. Hit a bump coming home. Fan caught my fan shroud and chewed it up. Missed the radiator.

After that it ran like a dream.

FOR SALE

'28 Ford modified. One owner, hardly driven........
















Not really that bad but I've never had so many unrelated things in one day.

Pete

 

No biggies then...she made it home OK.....

Although having no clutch can be a PITA !! At least you made it there and back....

Once she's sorted it'll be sweet !

Rat

 

jason is this you

 

Thanks for the pic's Flatoz , Although you should stop showing off our strommies or they will never be cheap again !

Rat

 

he should wear black tees,looks like hes put on a few pounds ha ha
whos roadster??

 

could someone tell me more about the heads on this car? its a flathead right?

 

The heads ( I think) are stock ford units, the finned covers are 'Thickstun' ones that normally go over the Thickstun heads. They were made by Thommy Thickstun for Marine applications. If you look in TRJ there is a story on them. Or I'm sure there is information on them here is you search. Only made for the early 24 stud motors.

 

Thats my roadster, Corey got me from my bad side. Ha Ha.

 

Wow, seeing my old 54 in Australia is pretty crazy! Man she looks good though, I can honestly say it is in great hands...Dale and Steve are some really cool guys and im happy they are happy about the Ruby 54!! Congrats on the pick at the show already Dale-
Billy

 

great pics flatoz. thanks for making us jealous that we all can't get there!

 

That Green flaked T owned by a Spades member just blew my mind. I have never seen it before or maybe never noticed it.........

 

Thats Victor O'Neils it doesn't get out too much. the Y block powered one that is I take it your referring too?

Last time I saw that was at the picnic about 3-4 years ago. Victor had 3 cars there this year.

 

Thats the one. Well it looks like just had not noticed it before.

 

cool
