Post # 796..a bit of anything from Don Covingtons pics

 I sometimes wonder where this got to, and would it be the one I have in my shop now...

 and this one from mackay...wonder where it ever got to, some 45 years later

 do you miss the days of the old aussie humpy customs....I always wanted one..

 I talked to Russell today from down on New Cleveland Road..he has 3 FX/FJs he wants to sell for $5500 the lot, with all their spares

 The old burnt out 389 Pontiac convert that KB owned...looks like it would repair ok..

 what ever happened to it, KB

 old race cars...probably all got cut up and thrown away..

 Stagerlee, with its Caddy flathead

 Jim Reeds, and din't we all love the organ pipes..

 even Ronnie had em as well

 Bob Triggs had the 4 SU carbed Windsor in the Cortina...sleeper..stocker looking from outside

 Can you imagine the chroming bills these days...must have been cheap in the 60s/70s

 for you, Leon..

 and cars like this...a mammoth amount of work to build it..so where did it end up??

 one of the best 60s show rods

 wonder where all the good flatties ended up...must have been a lot built in the day..

 Ron Whickams custom F100..always drew a crowd...wriggly valve cover 318s were popular once

 FEDs always look cool to me..Fuller/Dolan 1st one was this..then reinvented as Man-o -war, from memory

 another bunch of bling

 yep..where did they all get to...who would have ended up with the original hotrodded Pontiac engine, and then this hemi...and the wheels..chassis..wonder if things like this are still hiding away somewhere?

 even my cousin Graeme had a "different" looking altered...Y blocks were so popular back then..now you struggle to find any

 the Bay Area guys always had great cars in their club

 Tommy Fulton...always pushing the hot rod boundaries...wonder how his new 34 coupe will look

wish I had a better colour photo, but here's my old A bucket just after I bought it from Kenny Isaacs..had that sort of brown/army green colour...and who has that multi carb intake now...
