I know these are'nt military, but I had a hot rod show at my house yesterday and I thought some of you might like to look at the fantastic work some guys do.

You know ,Colin ,if it wernt for hot rodders a lot of these cars wouldnt be here,a sad but true fact.
How many were rescued from going to the dump to be rodded.
I like to see them original,or near as possible to original,but it is good to see these old girls!.
I have done rods and restorations over the years,so you might say i have a foot in both camps,but i lean mainly toward green machines now.
Thanks for the photos Colin.

Hi Colin

Thanks for sharing photos, which hot rod is yours? I love going to hot rod and cruise nights with my CMPs the people really get a kick out the CMPs and I enjoy looking at their work.

Guess it just means a Gear Head is a Gear Head no matter if is chrome or OD.

Cheers Phil

Unfortunately Phil, I don't have a hot rod but that does'nt mean I would'nt want one. These guys spend more time cleaning their machines then I do building a green one. They are going to have regular meetings here so it will get bigger each time. There was a few left hand drive ones there and I was amazed at the air ride ones. Ken, even if they don't make these cars original, they are still preserving the basic shape and also style.
