a while back the Cranksters Hot Rod and Custom club decided it would be good fun to build a car in a weekend, even though its been done before it still seemed like a fun project. So last weekend we did it with our one of our clubmembers t-coupe. The car was mocked up, rust work done, ch***is tacked and all the parts we could think of already organised in the past few weeks leading up. We are most proud to say that the ch***is was fully welded, the panel and paint finished, wiring done and it was driven out of the workshop sunday night at 6pm after starting around 6am saturday morning. There was a core team of 20-30 guys plus heaps more that dropped in for a beer and a look. We had a band in the evening as well! here are a bunch of pics from various sources, I didnt even take my camera as I was too busy doing bodywork and then running to my shop and back with last minute bits that were required. The whole thing was recorded by Norm from Aussie Desert Coolers and a DVD will be available shortly. the concept drawing pretty sure Brootal took a heap of pics, maybe he will post pics of some of the other cars that turned up.
You put the steering wheel on the wrong side!! Or do he pictures get flipped when you send them from down under???
Had a blast and when I walked in Monday to see what we had achieved .... was a weird feeling. Car nearly ready to be liscened.
Awesome work guys. That is a great achievement. Great to see some familiar faces in there too. I reckon I could use you guys in my shed.......fancy a weekend down south?
Car is finished and about to sent to the east coast of Australia for Johns Picnic and the Bright rod run. DVD available online from Armadaleautoparts.com of the whole weekend made by Aussie Norm in Melbourne. It is not a USA DVD version but will play on computers ect. If we get enough intrest we will produce a run of USA format DVD's.
That's too cool!! Good lookin little coupe too. If I had 20 dudes over that I know, they'd steal all my tools and drink all my Captain Morgan and the car would be in the same condition on Monday as it was when they got there. One weekend.....I'm on about weekend number 78 and still can't drive anything out of the shop!!
