Jason, my parents are nearly the last to leave when they go to shows or gigs.

Is it safe to post yet?

 

Seems it's finally safe to post in this thread, so here goes....

Just as well you did otherwise I would have had to do it.

Here's a few pics from my trusty Canon.......

Top Kustom, 40 Chrysler.







This one aint from the Kustom Nat's but the weekend before as Ken makes a few running repairs. He spent most of Sunday emulating Chopper by 'supervising' the kustomising work on this year's victim of the hammer and gas-axe.

 

A good reason not to have shiny paint and a Flathead engine.





On the outside this looks like a bog stock FJ Holden Standard Sedan, the engineering is superb and the powertrain looks like it grew there. The 1UZ can push a two and a half tonne LS400 along at a very respectable clip, so I wouldn't be challenging this lightweight Humpy at the lights.





Coolest Hot Rod, 'The Duck's' awesome LS2 powered deuce.





Some folks just can't handle the booze and end up with more on their shirt than in their mouth.



Anybody didn't have fun at the Kustom Nats, only needs to look in the mirrir to discover why.











This pair looked like a couple of old poofs sitting on the beach holding hands, but hey, at least they don't have rolled up cuffs on their jeans.



It's made from a million bits of unknown origins and a few known, was dirt cheap and delivered a bazillion bux worth of fun.

 

got any more pics of this 60 Cad? looks way cool.

 

that caddi belongs to a mate called Zack
here are some more pics of it

 

This may be a common site for you guys, but not in the US.

Is this a standard Chevy Ute released in Australia or is it something that's been altered from a sedan? Would love to have one of these.

KThey look like the koolest pair of fun lovin' kats I ever saw !

Dunno where you get this "poof" bizness from.....

Nice longroof too !!

Rat

 

Nice shots Carps but I know you got more.

 

yeh more please carps

 

Good turn out, people looked happy, enjoyed the pix!

 

Lucky, yep thats a 51 Chev Ute, they had the same body shell 1949 till the last Chev Ute in 52.....the 49/50 style rear fender pressing in the rear quater continued thru to 51 & 52, used 4dr sedan front doors, standard sedan chassis & front sheet metal, bench seat,very basic trim etc, then because the Holden Ute was introduced in 1951, GM decided that the 52 would be the last of the Chev Utes.....andyd

 

Your wish is my command!







Could this be the old Flatoz car?













This thing has been on the road since the early '70s. It's basically an open wheeled racer with a T bucket body on it and all the stuff required to make it streetable.

 

And a few more.



























That's all for now.

 

Carps, so where is this Australia place ??

 

It's the really big Island just a few Ks west of your shaky little buggers. ;D

 

Nice pix!

 

Thanks for the info andydodge! Are there a lot of these Utes still running around or sitting in garages? Love it, would make the perfect Custom Sled and still be useful hauling stuff.
