12 days until my holiday...i better start bloggin'

 I built this roadster back in 2004/5...sold it in 07/08 sometime...but with steelies..
and sad to see a report today that it crashed yesterday, injuring the driver...fingers crossed the occupant/s are fine..
 Now, more from Les W...I luv the seats your brother told you to put in the sedan...quick, get the diamond-tuft off the old ones and cover those dang things...or at least, a mexican blanket
 at Murray Custom Rods, just awaiting a driver..
 now, as usual, LSR in Austin brings out all the weird n crazy cars..


 Matching pit cart/tug..
 now, that is nice!
 Dougie..Glenn...not too late to leave the fenders off...



 Les W doing the Aussie ambassador job, spreading the word from down-under..
 'Look" says the sign...hello...calling Shane Snape....looky here...
 junk in ya trunk..
 flamin woody
 Big Al?...I think it is...all the way from N.Y.?
thats all from LSR...my man on the ground might send more pics yet..
 saw this on the net...another broken monoleaf...

 did I tell you why I haven't been working on the coupe....'cause i'm collecting for the next two projects, the 32 tub and 32 roadster.....this is a 46-48 24 studder..
 and this is a 221 1939-41 style 24 stud......I have the coupe with a 327, and for the tub and roadster, now I also have a choice...a 331 hemi, a 283 chev, two 307 chevs, or three flatheads...(sssh..don't tell Anita..i figure that means 7 more cars to build!)
 Got three nice 16" wires, just need to find one more....
 Called in to see Chuck Poulsen the other day..some pics around the shop...Y block stash here..
 current project convertible...nice body...
 brother Darryl has dragged out another project..this tub is coming along nicely with amazing patina paint..He's also in need of some early Ford wires...6 or 7 x 15s, if you have any spare..
 Tank convert just about finished..



 Yep...take the door off..shorten the frame...move the cowl back..instant bucket....go on...do it!


 Next stop was to pick up parts at OzRods...always plenty to see..
 projects..
 rework on cars, this 32 in for a new exhaust setup
 paintwork here is one of their strong points..
 as you can tell, with the reflections on this black beauty..
 more jobs..
 and more...
 However...they are going to close off the parts supp;y area, so their are lots of items up for grabs...too much to list, but I saw a few Walker radiators...
 a complete Speedway motors 26 T roadster body would make a great start for someone wanting something different..
 everything must go...get in quick..
 the shelves are clearing..so OzRods can concentrate more on the cars in the shop





Ok..reminder for this coming Thursday...my lunch run to Boonah..meet at the BP truckstop at Yatala at 10am, and we leave about 40 mins. later and head via Beaudesert to the Dugandan Hotel


Just noticed the Greazefest is coming to my home turf....wonder why they changed from Rocklea..
