i went to greazefest2007 on sunday. it was a blast. hot rods, hot chicks, rockabilly music. moon discs. fox tails. frenched aerials. flame jobs. pinstripes. flathead v8s. choppers. bobbers. did i mention hot chicks? what more can a guy ask for (",) . its funny, this modern greazer culture seemed to skip the gen x crowd and gone straight to gen y. funny, because theyve reinterpreted it somewhat. heaps of 'tribal' piercings and women with more tatts then men. many of them have HUGE tatts on their chest (tatts i said). i find it a little daunting but each to their own. and at least they appreciate some fine cars...

some more pics. this would have to be my personal favourite. nothing like an a model with a side valve v8 (",) in keeping with the look everything is scavenged from where ever. the front brakes are finned buick drums for instance. and in this case Jesus really did build my hot rod!
if you look REALLy closely at the wheel in the second pic yuoll notice that it actually has a cycle guard. made by using an actual tyre as a mold to make fibreglass guards. rego rules are fairly strict in australia and to be registered you must have gaurds. but the old hot rods often didnt have them. so if you make them hard to see it has the same look to it...

you should be able to guess what car this engine is in by counting the cylinders...

i cant remember why i took this photo ;) . glad i did, because most of the people in the background of my other photos look daggy but there were HEAPS of people dressed the part. even i threw on a plain black t shirt, greased my hair and turned up the cuffs of my jeans (",)

THIS is what a chopper really looks like. dont know WHAT that father and son team on cable tv build, but they aint choppers...
