Rick , Great photos .Just heard there will be no Qld Hot Rod Show this year ??? They moved it last year from Brisbane to the Gold Coast .All to do with the $ these days . Cost of hosting the show vs attendance ???? Where is all the new blood ???? Or is this a sign of things to come ??? Is Hot Rodding & classic cars coming to an end ??? Should I sell my cars & buy a Jap Drifter ??? Not while I still have my rear end pointing to the ground !!!!!!!!!! Lon

Oops, I left one out that I thought you might like. Regards Rick, all top quality cars and a dedicated group! I saw the green S/W at the geelong nationals where the guys had brought a car transporter from WA across with their cars. .

Our club has been going for four years and such is the interest in this era of cars, we have 60 members and 90 cars on our books. There is great interest here in the west for Y Blocks with most members keeping their original running gear. The cars are always appreciated when we have a run with passing motorists always taking photos on their phones.
Anyone can have a late model car that will probaly go better, drive easier and use less fuel, but they won't get anywhere near the smiles per mile!
Thanks for your comments.
Regards

Rick, Thanks for that. Early July I registered my ute for the first time in an embarressingly long time. I have been intersted in joining a club and enjoying the social side of owning a Y block. So I just sent a email off to the NSW 49-62 Ford V8 club. Very timely. Cheers Warren

Hey Rick
That 2 door Star model would have to be ring-in, wouldn't it?
USA car with R/H drive conversion and Star grill added or Aussie 4 door converted to 2 door?

Yeah, it is made from a 58 four door, but done that well, I like to think of it as a 55 Meteor with 56 Meteor chhrome strips. Not my car though. Got the late model running gear so the owner drives it everywhere.
How are you going with your 58? I have been meaning to ask if you have a spare speedo cable inner and or outer. I have already aked Bill.

Thanks for that Lon. He has a listing for cussos. Maybe he will be able to convert it for me as I have a top loader in the Mainline.
