Swiv's Bobber . . .

 I tell ya what, this thing is never gonna get worn out, coz the parts keep getting changed every second month. This bike never looks the same from one month to the next. . .

No matter what configuration the ciccle takes, it always looks a great litttle scooter. A new tank and a few other things and she'll be back on the road in a couple of days. Always looks good this ride!

L'il Pickup . . .

Probably the worst pic that I've ever taken and put up on this site, but I was kneeling down on a sharp fucking stone while trying to nurse my grand daughter and take these pics single handedly. Sooo I'm very sorry about the quality of this pic Trev, I put Ava dwn and the rest of the pics are OK. . .

 Fair dinkum, you gotta see this bloke working to believe his talent. This whole car took about twenty minutes, he's a genius. . .

 Fresh air intake will work a lot better with groovy pin striping. . .

As you can see, the sun was high in the sky and very hard to get proper definition without an umbrella or some sort of shade. Should of used Hodgey's old jocks, they would shade the whole fucking car!

Fat Bob's Rod . . .

This is a 'Nice' piece of equipment. . . .

Internal door skins look great and also note the weird looking cable actuated door releases. . .

This is a stencil of the floor plan so that the boys can cut out another floor pan and mount it 20mm above the old pan so that there's an air gap between the two. Can't tell you what they're gonna do with the air gap coz it's a closely guarded secret. . .and I haven't got a fucking clue!

1929 A Model 'Chopped' . . .

'D' working on welding all the sectioned roof pieces back into place after the four inch chop.

God I hate this fucking corner, you've got no hope of getting a decent photo with all the shit hanging on the walls and tools all over the fucking place! Anyway, it's supposed to be a pic of the chassis and motor for the '29 chopped A Model but with that much shit around it looks like the lounge room of a fucking 'Tip-Rat'. . .

Bert's Van . . .

Drifter, it's been that long since I reported on the bloody thing I couldn't remember its name. Any way, it looks like I owe Bert an apology because I didn't think that the two piece window would look any good. Well it it not nly looks good. it looks bloody great. Great vision from the old fella. . .

This pic shows the glass window shut. . .BTW, I forgot to mention that the whole rear door section raises the same as a Ford Territory, pretty cool hey? The one piece bumper, painted in silver, is also another custom mod not easily seen, unless I point it out to you dummies. . .

Joe's Mercury . . .

 How could I forget to include this big rig. Nearly broke three of my frigging ribs trying to get in and take a photo of the new under-dash "Vintage' air-con unit. Out front is a special radiator for the cooling unit, fan attached. . .

The unit inside takes up heaps of room under the dash, but she should keep old Joe nice and cool on the long trips. . .

L'il Pick-up. . .

Just tp prove that I wasn't bullshitting, here's the pic of Dave hiding under the dash of the L'il Pick-up. Notice the alloy door skins that Hodgey made up for the Pick-up. Cool as cat shit and tougher than a set of Woodpecker's Lips. I'm even thinking of getting them in my HJ. . .

1929 A Model something. . .

 Hodgey did tell me what it was, but fuck me, I can't remember every bloody car that goes through the frigging front door. Hodgey seen here marking the old girl out for a four inch roof chop. For those that have been wondering, hodgey has been getting a little dangerous around the tools lately so he's been limited to sticky tape and kindergarten safety scissors, just in case he hurts himself. . .

Typical of a three year old, hodgey's got to stick everything in his mouth, that's why we've taken the bigger tools from him. While he's playing with the sticky tape, 'D' is taking it upon himself to cut up the A Model. Where's Dave you ask? Last I saw of him he was hiding in the L'il Pick-up pretending to do some wiring work. . .

'D's Harley . . .

Just a quick pic of the new handle bars that 'D' made up for his new Harley. The older units didn't suit his style of ridin his Hog so he set about making a new set. The new bars are 4inches higher and about 2inches thinnner. They certainly look good and they definately put him in a better riding position . . .one of these days, we're gonna have to clean up that pile of shit at the front door before some poor bastard falls in the middle and breaks something. . .

Fat Bob's Rod . . .

 Don't ever say that the blokes in this joint stand around doing nothing. This pair of crackers are scratching their balls wondering where they're gonna have fucking lunch!

Here's one that they prepared earlier on, someone dropped in the new donk and TH400 while Dave took a couple of hours to run the 'Ezi Wire' wiring kit. Some of these wiring kits are complete shit and others are well worth the money. Dave tells me this one was a good unit. .

Big Red Mopar. . .

Finally one for the Mopar fans, and it's painted red to make the fucker go faster as well. . .

Don't look at me I'd be shittin meself if I had to poke the right hand pedal to the floor.  . . .

Just in case you're wondering, she's in for a larger radiator for more efficient cooling, 'D' has to cut out half the front end to fit this new gi-normous radiator that they've got to try to cool the fucker down. I'd be more worried about trying to slow the fucking thing down!

No Names, but the bloke who owns this pearler also did the XR8 bonnet bulge and to me it looks like a total re-skin, fantastic workmanship. Contact Hodgey for his phone number if you want some quality work done. . .

Fat Bob's Rod . . .

 Didn't take long for the parts to start arriving.  . .

383 Stroker that goes like a camel that's had a kick in the nuts. Turbo 400 and fuel injection with a really cool looking throttle body set-up. This thing is a nice piece of equipment. . .

Custom Harley . .

Sorry folks but it's been my youngest son's wedding recently and I've been driving buses for hen's nights and buses for buck's paint-ball days and I'm still wearing the fucking bruises. So please forgive my memory, but I'm thinking that this one was back in for some electrical problems. . .

 Horny looking ride anyway you look at it. . .

Big single pipe lets you know the bastard is running. . .

Fat Bob's Rod . . .

 The name says it all, Fat Bob Pankhurst has had his rod made up elsewhere and now it's here for the final fitment right through to turning the key.

Backin her in ready to unload. . .

 Hodgey loves these tie-downs and reckons they should be standard issue on every rod. . .

Just a litle bit of fluting for the bonnet. . .

And twice as much for the boot lid. . .

HJ Prem . . .

 Rear side of the GTS dash is slowly coming together with each wire having to be replaced after a burn-out. . .

 Rear view of a major switch panel that is going to be incorporated into the dash. It's going to house the swithes for the new electric heating unit that has been installed into the HJ. . .

Front view of the new dash cluster for the heating unit and a spare other three switches for other items to be added at a later date.  . .

Cliff's F100 . . .

Under that pretty blue little hat you will find 'D' plodding along like an old Clydesdale getting a bit of the welding done. If you look at the front of the pic, you can see the other corner unit that 'D' has already repaired previously. . .

EH Wagon. . .

 Not much happening around Dave's bench today by the look of things? . . .

I think this is the way that I left the EH yesterday? Maybe he screwed the calipers on, but not much apart from that. C'mon Dave, lift the game. . .

Kermit the Tudor . . .

 Look what I found lurking around the car-park. .

Lean, mean and smelly green, Kermit the rod. . .

'34 3 window hot-rod. . .

 As  she arrives on the back of the trailer, she certainly looks like the work so far has been carried out to a very high standard. . .

 Hodgey just loves the leather bonnet tie-downs that have been installed on the hot-rod. Work on this rig has been first class so far and now it's up to the boys to finish it off to a very high standard. . .

 Fluted bonnet looks the goods . . .

Fluted boot lid looks just as great as the front end . . .

L'il Pick-up . . .

New hand-made radiator support bars have been polished and given a coat of clear before being mounted into place to supply structural rigitity to the front radiaror mount. Looks real cool now. She's nearly ready to report for street duty in Melbourne now that she's all dressed up in her urban cams. . .

It can be seen easier in this pic, but the L'il Pick-up has had all her glass fitted and it's another steller job from the glaziers. It's no easy task cutting new windscreens from ply wood stencils i can assure you of that!. . .

EH Wagon . . .

 Rear springs have been re-set, re-painted and mounted back into place with the new axle hubs and diff centre . . .

 Front braking assembly from a VR/VS series Commodore has been fitted out with new seals and rubbers after carefully honing out the bore. .

New brakes mounted into place to become a integral part of the new V6 Conversions assembly . . .
