Welcome! Sounds like you love your Topolinos!

 

Hi Draider,

Thanks T

 

Welcome Tony, Looks like you have the Topolino market in your hands in Tassie. The straight 6 Topo sounds interesting.

 

Hey Tone how about that gig tonight at the REPUBLIC the "bone rattlers" were SUPER cool, the bass player swinging off his bass, all are a super talented bunch I have to thank Tommy and yourself for the invite man what can I say other than out of this world, thanks and see you at INCAT at six tomorrow and may be for burgers after?

Seeya Toppo.

 

Welcome from another Aussie.

 

Hi Munga,
Re that photo of 'Ol Myrtle' on site.
Wonder what GM Nettlefolds would have thought,or if they could ever have imagined what one might do to an Inter 60 odd years later.
In '49 imagine spring packs off the shelf with half the leafs removed.
Looks great.

PS. Thanks for the help.

TT.

Hi,
The 27 looks cool.
Are hot rod clubs hard to find in your area.
Or just the right one.
You can possible answer a question for me.
Here in Oz we home builder hotrodders get right into your shed build ratrod dvds.
Mad Fabricators, HotRod Havoc, Back from the Dead, etc.
Here, everything needs to be "engineer" checked to be legal.
In these dvds it looks as though you guys build and just drive em.
Are there any guidelines on your builds?????

Thanks TT

 

Gidday from Christchurch, New Zealand too.

My wife has a Toyota engined Topo for her runabout, and we just scored a second one a couple of days ago thats being delivered at the weekend.

Its just a body and two chassis' but over time it will turn into a street legal altered type hot rod. Probably blown SBC as its too tight a fit to get the blown BBC from my bucket into there.

Heres a couple of pikkys of my wifes Topo, would love to see pikkys of your ones.
