Headed off nice and early Sunday morning (Fathers day) for a 300 kilometer (dunno how many miles) trip to nostalgia day run/BBQ run held by a couple of blokes with rod related buisnesses in and industrial area. Local police tried to shut it down, canning the band for playing without a permit and ticketing a young kid for riding his chopper bycicle without a helmet Anyhow, most still had a great day and made it home safe thru some hellish weather. Here's a sample of what attended.... Fuel stop early morning, halfway there.. '58? ford early chanelled roadster in progress '50 ford Stude Loved this T rear.. QQMOON's 12 sec coupe More to come soon.... Cheers and beers Jimbob

Cheers and beers Jimbob
Cool pics, Yeah, the law knew how to dampen the day by cracking down on people having a good time and enjoying Rat Day number 5.Do I need a permit to say that??? Other than the walking badges,it turned out a good day.I think I got some shots ...........
Burgo took the trophy home this year with the T coupe. Sorry, but it and the roadster are 348's. The trophy has to be returned each year with a new addition bolted,welded or screwed on to it.As you can see from this photo,it is starting to get some weight. The other winners were Charlie for open (348 T roadster)and T.J for closed car(30 delivery).
Nice pictures and some great cars from down under, thanks mate ! Really dig the T coupé with 348 engine... /

Great photo's Jimbob,Did your mate just buy the 32 coop?. 2 issues back i think of the Cruzin,was it forsale?. The truck i think is a beford 46 to 49 .I had one and took six inches out of the roof,measured the width of the floor and placed the beford cab on a 52 cusso ch***is.Photos of the truck were in the newsledder few years back. looked really good but sold it at the folks fruit and veg shop,they own 8 acres on a main highway south of perth. Just park it and wait to sell it.
This is for you aussiesteve, I have some of Charlie's nomad with no tailgate from the following year also,but this was Burgo's finest. Clear enough Brootal??
