Nice, got any larger pics in better resolution.
COOL, yes better pics would be nice, but tell us more like who, where, how and why are the pics in reverse.
reverse is because i never tier of people asking why and shane hobbs dad ownes it a 6 year build not hard just getting the time he tells me
he's a member of flat four and has a sign writing shop as for better pics i only had my phone but they will come
he even has a gelmor belt drive on it 2 inch wide one really nice ride
the fuel tank is hingede and the radio is lowered down by a motor there is a lot to this vrod worth seeing it will get around
Here's some pics of it with my bug at the Canberra Rod and Kustom Kruise (CRAKK), which was held on the long weekend. Was an awesome weekend, and
both the dubs were well accepted by the rodders. I was a little unsure
when I first saw the pics of it, but seeing it in person it is very nice, and features great workmanship and a bunch of neat features.
Cruising to the show and shine
Parked at the show and shine.

Very nice looks awsome,The wipers are a great idea very cooool???? cheers shane.
Awesome shot
wow thats awesome, i was always a little iffy on the rod front, and standard back guards, but wow im sold, beautiful.
are the front guards costom or sourced from some where? i cant stop thinkin about it, lol
other than that, how do you get that number of pics on the post? it only let me post 3 on mine
they were aquired from a guy in vic who makes them using a 44 galon drum so he can use the ridge in the guards you will need to talk to the owner
thats interesting Greedy as i'm sure they are sourced from Sydney. Definitely not from a 44 gallon drum either, I'd say they were more like a fibreglass motorcycle guard.
should be on Historic plates !

I just got the info on the guards. They are fibreglass just not cycle guards. They were molded from the spare wheel cover of a 40's model Ford. They were sourced from within Hotrod circles. I can find out the details of were they came from of your interested but i will need to track the info down.
Yeah..more info on those guards would be nice...and those headlights too..really need some lights!!!!!
Hey guys, to save Notchy running back and forth with details i thought i should reply myself. The front guards are from a company called Hyboy Hot Rod
Company. Garrie Oliver is the guys name in Victoria Phone number 03 5975 6017 He has various widths 150mm - 270mm different widths have different
profiles. We got the 150 for our fronts. They are a fibre glass guard and If i remember right they run from about $80-$120 but don't quote me. If
your going to give him a call you will need to have some tyre dimensions handy. Sorry greedy but definatly not moulded from a 44 gallon drum
The front lights are from a motorcycle shop in rydalmere but any bike shop should be able to help. I think the were 6 inch, after market head lights
with cats eye chrome surrounds cost about $200 bucks plus the cats eyes which i got from a local rods show.
Thanks for your comments on the v rod, We want to build something different But wasn't to sure what others would think. We knew it wouldn't be
everyones cup of tea but we enjoyed building it and its heaps of fun to drive. We have had some awesome response so far from both hot rodders and
Volkswagen enthusiasts. Thanks
Oh and don't worry CT we have absolutely no intention on apply for club plates we know its a custom build heavily modified car and therefore not in
the spirit of historic or classic registration. Strictly build for cruis'n the streets
excellent....thanks for that.....one more Q...what were used to attach the headlights?? eg: what posts were used?? from a bike as well or rod
gear??
just need to figure out what and how to mount them for mine, as i have nothing in lights or indicators .. :/
The mounting hardware all came with the lights
