    Well, yesterday was the book launch for the Vultures CC road trip book. It was a beautiful sunny day when my boy Eddie and I set off from home. He got to experience roadstering at its best....and worst. It poured rain on us 5 minutes from Rancho Deluxe. Turned out to be a great day with great people and great chilli dogs.

    Here are a few pics

    That's a slick little A you have there and that young man has a killer grin. Any more photos of the run? That black shoebox coupe looks great sitting there in shiny black with a great stance.

    Great pics, love your modified. I wanted to drive mine today, but the only time it wasn't raining I was on a run to the landfill (dump), just crossed my mind...do you guys in Australia have & make runs to the dump?

    Yeah, that's Hoey's shoebox in original black paint. Note the close up of his grill. It has the original 9 cylinder in it too :)

    No we just leave it in the street and the kangaroos pick it up and take it away in their pouches. :p

    What is the green coupe with the Caddy engine? I've seen several pics of a coupe just like it from Japan and I have always wondered what it is. It has such a unique belt line and cowl.

    The Dodge is actually not an Aussie body. It's an import from the US.

    Nice bit of Ryan Ford's art. Those slicks would have been fun in the rain in the morning

    Top day out. Loved J C's 40 Chev Convert Sedan. Looked like one of the 'lost' Valley Customs. Brilliant exercise in the subliminal. I don't even think some folks realise that he built it out of an exploded Sedan. Great Stuff.
