Hi from South Australia

Hi every one,

I'm Tom from the Adelaide hills in South Australia, I've been popping my head in every now and then so I thought it was about time I joined. I own a 1967 HR Holden, many of you might not know what that is so I've attached a couple of photos. Its currently undergoing a full rebuild.
Here is what it looked like at the start of the year, and a more recent photo.

 

Good Luck on your Full Rebuild, ..............and Welcome to the H.A.M.B. from Arkansas City, KS.

Gday & welcome Tom,
I'm in Salisbury. Got an FJ basket case . Your HR is a hot looker.

 

Cheers Spoogie,

Basket case? all I see is potential, whats it like rust wise? from the photos it looks like a pretty good body.

 

Welcome to H.A.M.B from the USA enjoy the ride

 

Welcome to the H.A.M.B...........

 

Welcome from Arkansas...

 

welcome to the hamb, there are plenty of HR holden heads on here, although we do have to watch our mouths a bit , as a HR isnt totally hamb friendly!

yours looks like it will be a good one when done. i have attached a couple of pics of my own, have had it for 20 years.

 

Do you come from the land down under? Can't you hear can't you hear the thunder??

 

Welcome aboard, from Melbourne, have fun with the build.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Oldsedude, yeah I thought a HR was a bit too new to fit in. I have aspirations for something sleek and cool. it'll just have to wait til this project is done.
That HR of yours looks a treat, I love those hollywood trim kits.

 

Hey Tom, Welcome. So what,s a Hollywood trim kit ? Are you reffering to the Nasco rear wheel spats ?

 

Another welcome from the Netherlands!

 

Welcome from Rowlett, TX

 

34 GAZ,

I'm referring to the stainless trim on the side of the car.
Most Holdens of that era (depending on the model) only had a single piece of stainless trim running down each side of the car.
The additional lower section of trim and fill colour between the two trims is what I know as 'Hollywood trim' and I think it was a dealer option back in the day, its hardly ever seen these days. Well, I've only ever seen a couple.

 

the HR hollywood trim was rare as rocking horse ****, because by 1967 people werent really that into the flashy moulds etc, they were more of an early 60's fad.

you could order the car new from the dealer with a variety of different "nasco" trim and accessory options,this extra mould kit with different color painted in the infill was one of these options and was called a 'hollywood' flash because of its ''flashy, movie/rock star" bling bling appeal.
