Thanks Jimmy, some great cars there.

 

ah, the good old days of crazy, zany, sano, channeled cars, the OZ scene was unique eh.

 

Yes it was, to me Lyn Arrowsmith's 5w & Pirotta Crimson Pirate define what rodding was. It is a shame it went the way it did, and the amount of old hot rods repurposed is sad.

 

Cool pics! Thanks for the effort to post them!!

 

Unfortunately my issue of no3 is missing its cover so no scan

 

That is it from me, I have posted all the early issues I have.

 

Well done Jimmy, you've probably covered alot of the ones I have too!

 

Nice one Jimmy great idear, anyone else?

 

Great thread!!!

 

very cool. keep em coming!

 

Great pictures Jimmy! Thanks for posting them. I do have a couple of questions:
First in the December 1966 issue of Australian Hot Rod they advertise coverage of Ne England Car Shows.Is there any way you might be able to scan those? I'm originally from there and would be interested to see who was featured.
Secondly;the September 1971 issue:What make of wagon is that doing the ungodly wheelstand?
Lastly here are pics of the three Australian magazines I have.

 

Very, very cool thread! I think the mag with the Strip Tripper wheelstander was the first magazine I ever had. I will check and see if I have any to add.

 

Thanks for taking the time to scan & post , I'll also see if I've any to add .

 

Great stuff Jimmy, great seeing those 34 coupes done in a uniquely
australian way.

 

I'll take that coverless CR #2 off ya hands Jimmy

 

Not a hot rod mag but check out the speed equipment on the back page ad'. Pretty good for 1956 Australia. Great magazine too!

 

Cool post a couple of familiar cars and faces there. Thanks guys
