Aus is right - that G***er by Rob is the nicest one Ive seen - and easily best on ground today !!

Great pics. I'd love to see more of those Willyses. That blue Australian bodied coupe looks pretty sweet as well. The candy red paint on the other one is absolutely beautiful.

 

I guess Cragar and myself just copped the whingin, some people dont get Hotrod and Custom show. Anyway good day thanks for the pics.

 

Mate, I saw ya drivin iinto the grounds in that XF Falcon with 12 slotters haha!!

Better than the Commodore wagon you drove. He He!

 

We get a lot of Oz guys in the NHRA Museum, but not many of them show us pics of their cars. Nice Stuff!!

 

Thanks or posting.. the 49 Chevy is amazing... What a perfectly styled body.
Any more photos of that one?

 

Great show.... Not too much in the way of Traditional stuff, but some great cars none the less. Well done to Chopper & the Gang for putting on another great day.

Those Willy's were the pick of the day for me also.

 

Hehe, I think I took shots of the same cars....!

 

Good to hear it was a good weekend.

A few nice cars too!

That gloss black '32 roadster look's mad!

How did the weather hold up?

HC.

 

*****in Willys! Good to see an Aussie and American side by side. What's the story with the red one - it's not one of those dumb, fat, widened gl*** ones? (Hooray)

 

Thanks for the images lads...any more of this one ?

 

great day,thought the weather might be a downer but ended up o.k
pics of the day for me were black chev ute(spot on panel),the willy's and the music.congrats.

 

Do a search for Paso Robles, it was there a few times, plenty of pics.

Man, looks like a great day! Has Chopper finished that wild FJ he showed at the Vic Rod Show a few years ago yet?
Doc.

PS, Why isnt these any pics of Franks coupe??

 

The red Willys G***er is top drawer in my book, but shouldn't it be lettered as A/GS with a blown Hemi?

 

cool pictures. thanks for posting.

 

Rat ******* was in his 57 Chevy Wagon...!

 

Thanks X38 and Rik... I would like to see it in the flesh some day soon.

 

went saturday and sunday spoke to a couple of hambers. shoulda seen the tumbleweeds on saturday...sunday made up for it though.

 

great pix...the willys...especially the red one are beautiful...note to self: I need to get a ute for a shop truck

 

must have been raining was it?

thanks all for the photos.

 

Ditto, must say that black ute is testiment to how good gloss black and a healthy stance can improve the look of a car...sweet.

Cheers,

I really enjoyed myself catching up with mates etc, great cars but whats the go with late model pro street stuff parking in the main display area.these knobs just dont get it.

 

Good captain, it's an old chestnut, but sometimes it's all about the numbers, sometimes it's a come-one-come-all mentality, sometimes it's a very specific and policed approach. Whatever kind event you run, people will whinge, but at least you know what the picnic is and you have to choose whether or not to attend accordingly. Personally, I don't really like my focus diluted in the way you've described either, but there you have it. Chopped has a focus and police policy more in line with my way of thinking, and even then... it's not easy.

 

the 57 with the stereo belowing was obnoxious.
