Hot Rods Aussie Hot Rods in July '63 Rod & Custom?

There is meant to be two famous Aussie Hot Rods featured in the July '63 Rod & Custom? The cars were Darrol's Finger's '34 5w and Darryl Harvey's '34 roadster. Can some one confirm this and maybe scan the article?
Cheers
Jimmy

 

Here is Darryl Harvey's '34 roadster today. Now owned by David Green. My hat is off to David for preserving such an icon when it is common for old hot rods to be updated by numb-nut owners.

 

Jimmy, I don't have the R&C feature but I do have an Aussie feature from Oct '66 Car Craft that features a few iconic Aussie cars you might find interesting.
Cheers Charlie.

 

jimmy, ive got some pics of the finger coupe when it was sitting here at my dads shop somewhere but dont have the article are you after pics of the cars specifically?

 

here you go JB

 

Jimmy the third car in the photo we believe is the Rip Kirby channeled 32. It is now unchanneled and lives here in town. Eddie is looking for his other photos Taken at the same time for further verification

 

that'd be Rob Carroll's

 

Yes thats right Phil. Yellow hi boy.

 

That'd be a sweet car to clone.
Thanks Phil Stevens- real good Riverside shot on page 2 of the HR article. I was 8 months old then !

 

Great article Charlie, thanks for posting.

I would like to see some pics of how it ended up. I have heard it is being rebuilt similar but with Y block power. Darrol Finger's 5w is one of my favourite early Aussie rods.

Cheers Phil. Great article.

That was a great early rod. I really look forward to the day these early rods are returned to their roots. My hat is off to people like David Bowden who had Rod Foote's roadster restored, pictured top right.

 

Jimmy, im waiting on an email with pics of when it was sitting in my dads shop, prior to it being sent to tcr for its full rebuild i know the owner still had the original studebaker engine dont know what happened after it left here

 

Hey monster kid, I'm doing a story for Street Machine magazine hot rod annual on the Darryl Finger car, do you have any images or info that you can share?? We're trying to locate the current owner, Ray at TCR has lost the contact details...Please email to me at roadhousemedia@yahoo.com.au -Thanks Rob Warden

 

Hey Robbie

Fancy you catching onto this place!!!!

PM me your Phone number - I lost it - and I'll tell you what is going down

 

Engine in Darrol's car was a 57 Dodge Poly not a Studebaker. Check out Phil's scan of the article.

 

If stovebolt got the info you need.
ill try and sort out those pics i had coming of it while it was with us.

 

Swifty,

There was talk of a studebaker 8 being in it or going in it?
I picked up on the diffrence when I read the article too.
According to Jimmy it'll be Yblock powered now?
It was brush painted yellow when it showed up at our shop.

 

Last pics I saw of the coupe was when it was at TCR. It looked to have a Y block and there was mention of said engine been planned. I didn't look too closely at the pics to see if it was a Y block or Stude as I was a little disappointed a Poly wasn't being used in the rebuild. I had the pics saved but haven't found them.
