Old fashions and trends seem to make comebacks so it wouldn't surprise me
never say never i spose but nowadays stainless seems to be the exhaust material of choice
wouldnt be many on here that have ever seen it done
another thing is fox tails i have them on pilot and cusso my dad had them on his cars when he was young
had a guy come up to me at rock n rodz off his head because he said the DNA off my tails could cause an outbreak of foxes in Tassie sad part was he was serious

Beware them Tazzie fox's My old Irish Grandfather was so cunning they recon he used to go up in the hills and teach the Fox's to be even more cunning
What a bloody idiot he was Dave.
NO foxes in Tassie at all.
A young rich bloke in early 60s in Tassie at the tach school I went
to had ripper copper exhaust.
Genuine GT2 door Cortina.Chuck it back to 3rd at speed and the sound was glorious
coming into the Risdon roundabout
Dave that was when a few were out hunting the non existent foxes that were supposed to be here i think about 50mill was wasted on that one
one guy even went so far as to import a dead one over then "discover"it by the side of the road

Stumpy Russell is still very active in Historic and Hillclimb racing in what I gather is a new build Ford V8 Special. Have seen him at the 2 Wintons, Phillip Island Historics and the Maldon Hillclimb. The car has evolved over time from a bare chassis with running gear to an alloy bodied special which is as neat as. He probably competes at other events such as Geelong Sprints, Rob Roy Hillclimb but I haven't been to them.
i knew he had the old v8 race car and was doing well but lost touch i havent bought auto action for 20years so only know what others convey to me
i keep getting asked to get over for the historics as a couple of my cars run in them better pull my finger out
i had a lot of pics of myself and others competing at templestowe hill climb but not really hotrod stuff for here i spose
