Is that where i overtook you and then cut you off ..................................
Great pic Wade, you did well. JW

 

Yeah........ Let's go with that! Cool pic.

 

You win, won. It photographs so well from every angle. JW

 

In the thunder storm! My trailer, kind of what you are thinking of building. JW

 

Who needs both hands on the wheel? JW

 

Another because i'm still buzzing after the fantastic weekend, on the way to the track along with some others. JW

 

We made the latest edition of Petrolhead Magazine......way cool. JW

Hot rod revue came through with some great footage from the dust up.

 

Cool, was just like being there. JW

 

Not quite

 

True Ken, but it would give you a good but concise overview of what you missed, the whole day moved fairly quick as did many of the cars. JW

 

A cool video of the days racing.....

 

Love it. Had 1 day like that. Dirt, small tire & no wings, so much fun. Now move all the drivers on the left - inside of the turns. What the hell, let the right hand drivers run clock wise. That would be crazy experience

 

World famous again JW! The latest NZ Hotrod magazine coverage of the dust up.

 

Well damn! Feb issue of Petrol Head and Mrs W makes the March issue with her Mustang. The truth is i don't ever take the cars out looking for a trophy, but a pic in any mag is gold. Looking forward to NZ Rodders coverage. Thanks Wade. JW

 

It's been 40 years since i had a car and my name in that Mag. it was with my 37 Willys (still have it) at a club show at the Wellington Zoo,1984. JW

 

Heard today of a trad rod meet at Mere mere late march. Any kiwis got more info on this meet.

 

Sounds like the Hot Rod Blowout March 24. Hosted by the Scroungers car club. JW

 

Here's the event flyer, always a good day!

 

Hi, Wade, are you going to the Dust Up in January? We are all entered up. Hope to see you there again. JW

 

Well team, it has been a little while, maybe it's time for an update.
I have been planning a trailer for the roadster for a while now and building a (apparently off topic) tow car for it also.
Here are a few shots of the trailer to date.

I got a 3.6m x 1500mm x 3mm sheet of steel cut into full length strips then folded into channel and the profile for the guards.
I wanted to keep the car as low as possible.

It is easy to load with the profile of the guards and balances nicely to tilt and tow.
Nearly ready to go to the blast and paint guy.

 

Very cool, will we see that line up at Dust Up? JW

 

Not sure yet. Still working through cert list.

 

We did a wheel alignment the other day again after making new ifs arms, but the bump steer calc was outside acceptable parameters, so waiting on components to arrive to alleviate the issue.

 

But wait, most folk will say it drives fine ,not an issue......but you know !! JW

 

Call it a 'Trailer Queen' if you must, but those that know me, know I am happy in all weather in the roadster, but if we travel far there ain't no room for much more than a credit card and a toothbrush . Still planning to travel, but as we age, we appreciate a dry bum and what is left of our hearing! Today I loaded the roadster on her very own transport designed to be hauled by the (apparently off topic) Chevy coupe in the background, which I nearly completed fitting the recycled leather interior including heated seats for our buggered backs.


And the interior of the coupe.



Cheers.

 

Looking good, Wade. All of it ! JW
Edit, just under five weeks, zoom zoom.

 

Final (hopefully) inspection for the ot car on Monday, fingers crossed .
I may have bought another project too............
