Each year at work we always have a large BBQ/booze up on the last day, this year we thought it would be cool, being there is sooo many car guys at work we'd organise a show 'n' shine. One trophy, General Managers choice..........

Jimmy (Fingers) has been working hard getting his latest project sorted, a '39 Vauxhall, only got it rego'd yesterday, damn things been lowered 6in....

One of our mate's Matty brought along his stupid clean XU1...

Awesome custom postie...

Early '70's Mustang.........
Image


'34 Buick, just been finished, got V12 power...
Image


Cool patina'd HQ (just needs the treatment)....
Image

Image


My boss's '67 Camaro, been building it for many years, all body and paint done at home by him, only got rego'd yesterday in time for the show....
Image
Image


OG paint, aussie delivered '56.....

You're kidding me aren't you?

Did Stratty really get his Camaro done? Tell him I said it looks great.

And Rowdy Ronny Hayes' car...... hmmm, I must say it did turn out a thousand times better than I thought it would especially when I saw it half done. Not bad at all, and I bet it goes alright too!

Good times

Nice collection of cars there... I have often thought about doing a car show here... you have inspired me to do a similar thing and make it our christmas BBQ event for 2012.

Won't be quite as much fun as our orange cannon, but will be far more acceptable to the OHS fun police

Thats bizarre Rhett. When I first strted my apprenticeship I had no licence, so I bought a postie bike. I painted it schwarz with silver skull and crossbones. Not the same one, but damn close.

DC's must think alike.

Haha,
The dude with the postie is the head of the IT department, he's got a stack of them.

There could've been heaps more cool rides there but alot of guys are either un-social and just piss off home, or would rather get on the piss than drive.
