Rat Day

[oli]

Anyone going for a look?

[Mick]

we used to but now that it's run by hot rodders with no clue it's a shiney hot rod show with a couple of barely rats thrown in for good measure, still usually a very good turn out and worth the drive just not for me and my mates anymore

Im going. As mick said its not much of a rat day but it is an awsome morning. Get there early as its all over by lunch time.

You liked what I wrote wot..
Nothing like initiating an urban myth.

I laughed and laughed.

Plus, the van looks great.

[bootlegger]

Thanks I saw your wagon but didnt bump into you.
Its a massive show.

Ya right guys there was more shiney ones than ratters but was still a top day with the weather and attendance. Dave I was gonna stop and say g'day but you were mobbed the minute ya pulled up! Stoked all the hard work you've put into the van has paid off mate, was one of the standouts there for sure Good mate of mine that I went there with (had the windowless HG van parked in front of my wagon) lost his shit when he saw it and its fired him up to get his EH rego'd again.
Next year for sure!

Thanks your right I was mobbed the moment I pulled up.
I kinda knew building this van would be special but I really didnt anticipate the response. To see the smiles on peoples faces has been worth it.
Its going to be hard to out do it on my next project. An fb ute with an injected repco crossflow grey. Sydney county council also.
I looked at a dunstan rotary valve grey for sale on satyrday also.

[browny]

Did you end up with the Dunstan head?

[bootlegger]

I cant afford it right now. The guy wants $17000 for it. It's a complete engine.

[browny]

wow pricey but suppose how many do you see.
I think out of all the after market heads I like that one the most
