Hot Rods

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Colin

Thanks for sharing photos, which hot rod is yours? I love going to hot rod and cruise nights with my CMPs the people really get a kick out the CMPs and I enjoy looking at their work.

Guess it just means a Gear Head is a Gear Head no matter if is chrome or OD.

Cheers Phil

Unfortunately Phil, I don't have a hot rod but that does'nt mean I would'nt want one. These guys spend more time cleaning their machines then I do building a green one. They are going to have regular meetings here so it will get bigger each time. There was a few left hand drive ones there and I was amazed at the air ride ones. Ken, even if they don't make these cars original, they are still preserving the basic shape and also style.

That grenade gearstick is pretty damn cool.

Hi Colin,yes i agree with you about the car bodies.
The other thing that i have noticed over the years is that hot rodders seem to have the money,where the vintage car types have champagne tastes on a beer budget!!
Thats me in the last category hahaha!

Hey Colin,
It must be the thing to do, we had a local hot rod car club visit our family farm to look in the shed just before Christmas.
My brother has set up a small museum with family cars and trucks.

Colin,

Did you crank up the band for a bit of rock and roll to go with the hot rods? I have a 32 ford hi boy hot rod in my shed which I am building for a mate of mine. When he saw the Marmon Herrington as I was building it, with it's roadster cab, his one comment was "rod it!". Same comment when he saw the roadster cab on my 39 Ford 1 ton ute, "rod it!".
