The Rod Room

[Grechy]

Same as in intro

This is our little room of the rear of a double garage.

With three young sons helping out

New second hand bench

A cluttered mess already

Good looking hot rod! Deserves it's own, dedicated parking slot. Looks like you have some other toys.

Yes just a life time of stuff.

Thats where this forum has been inspirational.

In hindside I would have made original Garage twice as big.

Our 20foot ski boat is in neighbours carport and our 6x4 Box trailer is in next doors yard. Thank God for friendly neighbours!!!

Cheers Paul

Nothing a good day and three boys and you couldn't get straightened out in a few hours.

Looks good. every ride like that needs a dedicated spot.

What did you put on the ceiling? At first pic it looks like tracks for a dropped ceiling, but the other pic liiks like smooth drywall.

I used the same as the walls - Gyprock - I think dry wall you guys call it? And fixed to steel battens.

That's a cool idea. I like how you can sit on the patio and admire the car through that bigass window. Good to see that it was a family project too. Could we get a few more pics of the car?

Nice photos. Thanks for posting. You had better explain Gas = LPG here. What is gas in the US is petrol here in Aust. LPG is Liquid Propane Gas or what is more commonly known as BBQ fuel in the US.

I thought rpu stood for roadster pick-up?

 

[Grechy]

rpu - my understanding is it stands for Reproduction Unit

I would have called it a Repro then you learn something new every day and that is what I enjoy the forums for.

 

[cb450r]

Damn good looking cars! I am a 60's Camaro man and that one sure looks sharp! And your roadster is a beauty!!

Continental thing ? What has Europe got to do with Australia ?

 

[Grechy]

Heaps of good blokes and plenty of pictures and help from a wide variety of people.

Cheers Paul

I thought Australia was a continent?

 

[HOTFR8]

I thought Australia was a continent?

The word Chris 50 used was Continental. I always relate that to Europe.

The Oz Rod forum was the one that was almost shut down some time ago over a legal issue.

 

[PAToyota]
