Just a bit about me so you know who the hell I am when I post I am another Mexican(the australian kind) and have been into Hot rods all my life, all 15 and a half of 'em! I'm planning my first Hot rod project, a 28-29 Model a Roadster P/U, most likely with flathead power, 40's radius rods and whatever else I can find! My dad has been into hot rods since the 60's, and we currently have a 32 Hiboy roadster and a 56 Fairlane Victoria. I have been building a website for the past year or so to expose Aussie hot rodding, which is http://www.geocities.com/aushotrods (yeah I know spam ) looking forward to meeting you guys, Sean
ok,im confused,,first you say your a member,but under your user name it sez "stanger" then you say your a "mexican" type of australian? what does that mean?
Thanks for the welcome guys. Flatoz, where were you last tuesday night? The Cruise Night at Essendon Airport wasn't bad at all, good weather too Butt Reynolds, didn't mean to confuse you, Phil Stevens flatoz and I are from down south
Welcome to you. Essendon airport eh? how often is that on? now theres a damn good location for a nostalgia drag meet!they dont fly from there anymore do they? Just to clear it up, we're all from victoria, the southernmost mainland state, hence the south of the border/mexico reference....
G'day lowsquire Its on every second tuesday of the month, in the Car park near the terminals. IT would be a great nostalgia drag meeting place, but they still do run planes there, mostly private owned and smaller ones. I just made a page up of pics from the recent one at my website.
oh,ok i was just wondering how there were mexicans over there,,,seems like a long swim! anyways,welcome
Hey sean, had some trouble with diff pinion angle, seems the diff wanted to pray to the gods, the driveshaft was trying to make sweet love with the underside of the body, and hence. I didnt go anywhere, had to try and tear them apart from each other, it was making me sick Will be sorted out soon, bloody better be, or I wont be making it to the kustom nats. hard to get enthused to do any work when its 120 F in my shed 47 c for the aussies

[/ QUOTE ] My model A WONT have hydraulics, but it will sit real low Theres actually a car over here that looks really close to what I want, its just a really basic full fendered rpu with just left over parts, but it looks good!

A couple of weeks ago you were complaining about how cold it was in the shed. Bloody whinging Mexicans!!! Hey Sean. Good to see you hear. I hope you realise how lucky you are having a Dad that is a Hot Rodder (you too Flatoz). All I ever get from my old man is... "When you going to sell that heap?" He has no idea.
Welcome, I too am a Mexican from the the South. South Karachi that is, but I'm older than you, I'm 22.
