I think you'll find its run by Ray at Junkyard Classics. Not Oz Rodders, Oz Rodders is just a forum, with an off shoot being Oz-E-Rodders the first online Rod Club.... looked like a good turnout.

Seemed like a good turnout. I've never been before so hard to know what other years was like. Last year I think it rained a bit.

Devilrod, thanx for clearing that up. I wondered what the difference between Oz Rodders and Oz-E-Rodders was. Does Junkyard classics have a website or anything that you are aware of?

Regards

the REEL rat rod in the photo with rod hadfeilds pickup belongs to my mate, hard to beleive but it will be getting registered soon i was there designated driver we only got it driving on friday nite. the blue chevelle next to the yellow fb wagon also belongs to a mate of mine. and yes it was a great day, it did rain last year but was just as big as this year, the show always has had a fairly big turnout if yor not doing other things that day it's worth a look
