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. . .
