Fat Bob's Burger Joint . . .

One minute you've got yourself a decent Roadster sitting in the shed and then you go in next day and the bloody things in pieces all over the place. This is the full frame and along with the diff axle tubes, by the time you read this, they will be finished being sandblasted by Jaimie so the whole lot can be taken around to the painters. . .

The body, well she ended up on a different trailer and she's already round at the painter's and hopefully they've started prepping her ready for a few coats of high fill before primer and then top coat. Can't tell you what color it's gonna be coz I ain't got a fuckin clue. She's gonna be a sweet ride though and she will certainly take pride of place out front of the Burger Joint. . .

'29 Model A Tudor . . .

Dylan working hard on all the stitch welding of the new front end that Hodgey fabricated while it was Poppy's day on Wednesday. The rails are lot bigger and a lot stiffer now that they have been modified and welded in. The new shape will add considerable strength, and the horsepower this thing's gonna be pumping out, they're gonna be needed. . .

'29 Model A Tudor . . .

The boys have lifted the cabin from the Tudor so that Hodgey can get to work on the front end. . .

As per usual, out comes the grider and great hunks of the frame go missing. This time Andrew is removing the old 'tiny' front rails ready for some monster chassis work to be installed ready for the fully independent front end that's waiting to be installed. . .

'29 Model A Tudor. . .

'D' is certainly getting stuck into this one and at the moment he's trying to make the custom fuel tank mount match the badly worn and abused fuel tank that will be sitting in the rar compartment. Tomorrow the cabin comes back off for all te underneath finishing and painting, I believe?

L'il Pick-up . . .

Door skin removed and bailey channel is being fitted before the new glass can go in. Pay particulat attention to the very inventive door 'handles' welded in by the boys, after all, it is a 'Rat Rod'. . .

Sun time, fun time, trike time. . .

Looks like the sunshine has finally enticed Phil Clohesy to trickle the old trike out for a trundle? This is the first time in a 'very' long time that this beast has been on the roads, and from what Phil was saying it certainly lets him know who's the fucking boss, trying to throw him out of the saddle at every set of ripple bumps or any decent hole in the road. Good luck there mate, it's pretty fucking hard to find a decent section of road in Ballarat without huge bloody holes in it!

There she is folks, the only one of its type in Australia. Phil was saying that he knows of three street driven, super-charged Hogs in Australia, and this is the only one of the three of them with this type of super-charger. One hundred cubic inches of super-charged Hogg, no wonder the made bastard of a thing tries to throw your arse in the gutter at every turn. . .

'29 Model A Tudor. . .

'D' has welded in the the new floor and is now trial fitting the new tunnel. Tail-shaft can be seen running throgh the body and it's a nice tight fit, close to the flooring. . .

New tunnel fits like a dream, just a couple of tack welds to hold it in place and then it will be fully stitch welded in place. . .

Taranto's Ford. . .

You might remember this one from a few months back when the boys tubbed her out for a pair of huge rear rubbers. ..









A huge new aluminium radiator has been fitted to cool the monster new motor that's been installed. . .

351 Cleveland stroked out to 427ci. that's pure grunt in anyone's language. The car is hear for a full fit out of the remainij
ng running gear which includes a set of Caltracs down the back to try and add a bit of grip . . .

'29 Model A Tudor . . .

 LHS of the motor is pretty straight forward, even though custom made plates had to be used to get this motor to sit right, Not too many '29 Model A's came out with big Hemi V8's between the rails! Dunno why though?

RHS is a little tricky because when the fuel pump exits the side of the block it does a right angle and heads straight down towards the engine mounts. Not to worry, 'D' been cutting and grinding and the whole shebang works together like a pie and sauce. . .

 All back from the exhaust shop, and lookin pretty. Pretty Damn noisey that is. Geez, they do a good job round there and old Tom's still whingeing his arse off. . .

Nice set of tail pipes that have connectors located in front of the diff that allows for some shorter pipes to be bolted up and tucked up out of the way, real sneaky style. . .

Baby's tricycle. . .

 Sorry folks but I ain't had no incentive to get on these pages and waste my God given talent on the rubbish that Mr Hodge and Co have been producing lately. Kid's tricycles, that's right, three wheeled bikes for fuckin' children! I ain't wasting my time puttin up pics of three wheeled kids toys. . .

 But I'm telling  you fuckers right now, if you want one of these kids toys you better make up your mind real quick. Me being the manager of the kids dep't says there will only be one run of these and we've already got 5, that's right, 5 grown men who emptying out their piggy banks as we speak. You been warned, one run and once they gone, they gone mother fuckers. . .

Dumb arsed kids toys from a grown up's shop, damn fool should know better!

Pretty good lookin' shit to be parkin' on your lawn though!
