Bit of this-bit of that..

Hope your Easter has been great...whether it has been Family time/Church/Rod Running/Holidays//or just kickin back at home...

I am starting to question where hot rodding is going, with the increase of more radical, for want of a term, "rat Rods"...now these images just came from the net, and I don't know if it's a good thing or not...for one, there's individualism, there's more participants in the sport, there's workmanship, that well...is interesting...but I don't know where we should draw the line, or if we ever could....for me...I like 'em not so radical...others would disagree!

the examples above are way too far out there for me...I prefer something like the next pics I found on the net..

basic...bit of paint off...steeped in tradition...

sort of work in progress style, is what I call a rat rod..and that term I don't even like..I hate it!....

So...for my style...I like anything like the ones just above, and not much more than that...

But...not my call as to how you build a rod these days!!

Saw this come over the facebook...better late than never to post it..

still searching for some rare aussie magazines, really want to get the ones shown here...

especially the history of the first dragfest..

and..the elusive No 1...

Keep 'em coming...I'm gathering our history, week by week as I buy or get given more books..

just some pics that I found on the net this weekend..

Sydneys John Fleming..probably about 1962.63.64 somewhere..

Dale in Minnesota just scored another tub project..

April 23 show on again...I won't be there...off in the big bird that day for 7 weeks....no blog for you April/May June.....but just wait until I get back...castles...churches...cute villages...rivers..hopefully no pick-pockets or fanatical weirdos...
