Australian Street Rodding — November 2017

(Dana P.) #1

above: Rumble participants put on a display at the popular
Mindil Markets in Darwin. In the foreground is Bruce Borlase’s
recently completed blue ’48 Ford F1 pickup.


left: Greg Smith’s ’41 Ford pickup experienced engine problems on the way and
finally expired at Alice Springs on the way home, where an engine transplant was
required. After an unplanned extended holiday, he made it home eventually!

above: Zipping along the highway past some resting vintage tin outside a service
station is the gasser style ’40 Willys coupe of Chris Hadgkiss followed by Ian Hickey’s
yellow ’37 Ford pickup (with ’35 grille if you’re confused).
left: Julie Loomes drove her ’30 Model A coupe all the way up and back with
camping gear stowed in the trunk and husband, Mick in the passenger seat. The
coupe is V6 Buick powered and was originally built by David Bourke. The Loomes’
live in Bendigo Victoria.
