Toowoomba , great place for hot rods and good times.

Time to head up the hill for the annual Toowoomba Rod Run....I changed out the wheels again, with bigger 265s on the rear, and put the knock-offs on for a dress up....between the roadster and the Tudor, I now have 5 sets of wheels to mix and match...don't be surprised if you see steelies on one side and 5 spokes the other!!
Wheels...paint choice...ride height....almost nothing else matters if you want a car to look "right"...Chuck Poulsen nails it with everything he builds!
Flatheads...can never get enough of them, and this new model A from the sunny coast was detailed well, once again, Craig used his "NOT 032' plates just to rub it in.......
I luv pickups and trucks, and Neil Popes 32 also had the look....the Real Wheels and paint colour ....spot on.
Warren and Kerry Wilkie at T R&C throw the doors open on Saturday arvo to show the latest projects in the shop......hiding in the corner is another pickup complete with the seldom seen Buick engine...cool!
Another new-ish car on the road is Graeme Robinsons all steel 32 Victoria....came in from the USA a while back and he has been busy, along with Warren and crew at Toowoomba Rod and Custom Shop, with the freshen up including  new frame , drivetrain , trim, and Tork Thrust Originals
Looks like 200mph standing still!!...John Davies tudor made it into Top 10.

Hot rodding will carry on forever, while we continue to allow the kids to get involved so early in life....love to fast forward 20 years to see what these future rodders wil be driving!
