More photos from the Nats
Well I've started to put together some web pages to display the 279 photos I took over Easter at the Nationals.
Only the first 3 pages (out of 20) are up, but I figured I'd give you all a sneak preview.
CLICK HERE
Hope you like them.

It's OK, I'm not really from Sydney, I just moved there, but now I'm back in Perth so I'm normal again.

Yeah, I've been a bit slack, but after scanning 270 photos, you need a break!
My wife is away this week at a "conference" in Cairns, so I'll have plenty of time to kill. Should have the rest of the pics up by the end of the week.

Good job on the pics Brootal, suprisingly most of em are my kinda cars.
On page two there is a '33 tudor that you said was a simple kind of rod. That sucker has had a heap of work done to it, im pretty sure it was a more door, and now has lengenthed doors. Mick Maine built it and his old man has the 34 pickemup below it with the commercial front sheetmetal. Hes the bloke who built my old 33 roadster that went to germany.
Heres your pic of the 33.
Great job again brootal!

Don't take it the wrong way mate.
I just meant it was nice and simple in execution. Just chopped, dropped and a set of wires and she's done. Bee-Yoo-Di-Full!
You know what I mean. Some people try too hard and it just doesn't work. The simple things are often the best. Didn't your Mum ever tell you that?

I'm working on it. I went up to Tamworth the other day to check out a potential project. It was pretty good, but someone else ended up getting it. I just don't have the $$$ at the moment, plus I've STILL got to get the Rambler going.
I've also uploaded a few more pics from the Nats. Click on the link in my signature. There should be a link on the home page by now that says "Nationals". Pages 4-10 are new.
If you can't see the link, just use the one at the top of this post.

Hey Brootal I too was gunna give you a little slap in respect to your "simple" comment on that car.
Look close and you'll see it's actually an Aussie '34 which was NEVER offered as a two door. The conversion is not anywhere near being simply "chopped and dropped". It's also not a case of fitting US Tudor doors and filling in the gaps at the rear, since the US stuff is completely the wrong shape at the cowl and around the lower edge. Also making such a swap impossible, the Aussie windscreen posts have different angles when viewed from the front and the sides compared to the US cars and the beltline moulding is also totally different along with the pressing around the window openings. US models having a new design motif and the Aussie versions carrying the basic form over from the '32 models.
Yup, there's a MOUNTAIN of work in that car and the fact that it's fooled so many people is testament to the quality and workmanship.
Even more trick than the two door conversion is the fact that the tell tale side spears have gone. That's right, it's also been chanelled and then the quarter panels reworked so the original fenders look like it all grew that way.
Maybe when you come to teach me about computers, I'll have to teach you a little about old cars and the difference between trick, subtle and simple.

My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.
