'27 Willy's Salt Racer . . .
Nothing like a nice Flat-top. Newly prepared and poking a couple hundred horses out the arse end with twin Strombergs sitting on top, doesn't get any better!
Nice looking droop snoot for the front adds a lot of character and helps tame the airflow around the car. Just needs a nice radiator now to block that rather large hole that's been left . . .

'29 Model A Tudor . . .
The Big Fella has had nearly all his time taken up this year making and fitting custom mud-guards to HotRods. With all the interuptions that he has had this week, it has taken four days to get this part of the overall project complete. . .
A squeezy little look into the rear space of the front end shows the new guards follow the contours of the front wheels very closely . . .
Here's a great pic of the rear end showing the new rear guards and the newly installed tail-lights . . .
Close-up of the 'Frenched' tail-lights that are new aftermarket units borrowed from an early Cadillac. A lot of work, but a great looking result . . .
Cliffy's F100 . . .
Front of the tub shows where 'D' Has blended the edges into the same shape as the rears . . .
Here's a closeup of the fabrication work that has been custom made and moulded to fit by the 'D' . . .
How's this for a custom set of mini-tubs that add a gentle arch to the inner sides of the tub. Not only does it give the wheels somewhere to go during rebound the shape is cosmetically smoother and more appealing than dirty great squared edged monoliths that most utes are carrying these days . . .
There's a lot going on here boys and girls. The rear LED tail-lights and indicators have been fitted into the rear beaver panel as well as the inlaid numberplate frame. This is the first pick with the tail-gate in place showing a very classy and forward flowing rear end . . .

Cliff's F100 . . .
After 'D' had done such a great job with the firewall, Dave has connnected up the two front guards and given the firewall a coat, or two, of paint . . .
New LHS rear guardfitted to the tub, but have a look at the artwork that 'D' has turned out at the top and bottom of the tub's corners to round them off and blend them into the guards. Sensational!
Big surprise here folks, Cliffy wanted his rig to be a big Tonka truck and we all know that they have to be 'Tippers'. Yep, hydraulic tipper for the tray. If you have a close look at this and the previous pic, you will see that the rear Beaver panel had to be carefully raised and radiused so that the tray can tilt to the max while the F100 is sitting on its guts in the weeds . . .
HJ Prem . . .
While the HJ is sitting around waiting for the wiring to be finished I thought that I would check out a couple og bonnet scoops. This one is a Group A scoop from a VN Commodore and made up to fit the HJ bonnet . . .
This one takes us back to the old Pro Street look and I really like the old school style . . .
The Lotus Kit . . .
New Lotus 'Clubman' Kit car nearing completion. It has been sent to the boys for final fit-out . . .
New Ford Focus 2.2lt motor will receive twin side draught Webbers and eventually a turbo system. . .
These little cars sit low to the floor and put up a great show at club outings and this one should be no different . . .
New Post . . .
New Post? How about four of them? The big Fella has been waiting for a while now for this new toy to arrive and it will certainly make fitting up the undersides of the new rides a lot easier . . .
