Australian Street Car Magazine - Issue 28 by PressPad

(Above) The modern dash had to be cut and modified to suit the dimensions of the F100. The dash was then fiberglassed, prepped, sanded and undercoated. Later on certain parts of the dash would be either painted or wrapped in leather trim. Here shows the newly fabricated chassis all painted black and dummied up to the front cab of the Ford F100. Many parts have to be test fitted and removed many times during the build. (Left) The owner requested that the outside of the F100 retains its original patina (paint finish) so to keep its aged. this would be a big surprise for anyone looking inside the truck at car shows.

(Right) Soon the modern interior along with all modern technology would be fitted such as air conditioning, central locking, heated leather seats, factory stereo system, alarm and keyless entry and more.

(Above & below) The entire rear chassis had to be made from scratch to suit the IRS and differential setup from the Modern FG Ford into the ‘56 F100. This truck will be able to handle corners and brake just as well as a modern car once this is all complete.

(Above) The interior of this F100 left a lot to be desired at the start of this project. However this was always going to be a very intensive build. It is no small task transfering everything over from a modern car as most parts don’t fit and have to me modified. Clips don’t fit anywhere so 90% of parts become custom one off pieces. This is all part of the challenge that we enjoy at Oz Rods. If you can dream it up we can build it.

(Above & Right) To make the front coil over suspension work we had to make cutom strut towers. They were first tack welded together (above) before final welding to check everything was in the right place. (Left and Below) On the left is the modern donor Ford . All the wiring had to be carefully removed so none of the wiring or connecting clips were damaged. Many parts of the wiring loom had to be shortened or lengthened to suit the F100’s body.

DEADLINES AND INTERSTATE shenanigans

here to start? Damn has it been a busy last two months since our last issue. I have had a business trip down to Melbourne to meet up with two World Rally Championship teams. I got was luck enough to get a passenger ride in both cars which is something I can now tick off the bucket list. Sure it is a long way from most young boys dreams of actually being a rally car driver. But hey it sure was an adrenalin rush. It was sort of like when you hop in that crazy friends car that likes to drift local street at random and you are sort sitting on edge just hoping you don’t end up sideways into a tree. Only difference is these guys have 1000x more skill then our average hoon friend down the road named Dave. I was actually impressed at how much grip you can have while sideways at over 100km/ hr on a dirt road. While I was in Melbourne I also got to visit the head office for GM Holden which was sort of cool but at the same time not all that exciting. It really is just a huge building with not much to see. I didn’t get to go into the manufacturing plant which if I had it probably would have made for an exciting time. Maybe next time I am down there I will ask for a proper tour. Not long after I arrived back in Brisbane from my Melbourne trip I was once again flying off interstate to Canberra. This time it was to visit our Assistant Editor Daniel Driffill. You may have read one or two of his editorials as of late. This was my first time

www.australianstreetcar.com.au

in Canberra. I was down there to do a few test photoshoots with some camera gear I was looking at buying. I was also teaching Daniel the finer points of Graphic design so he too can help out with designing the magazine. This soon turned into more of a lets have some celebratory drinks and go visit the local car guys that have been wanting to meet me for some time. Daniel was good enough to organise a small “Meet the editor” get together at one of our advertisers who does vinyl wraps known as Funky Car Skins. We had a pre meet spot and with only three days notice we had probably 100 to 150 cars turn up and around 200 people. I was quite impressed with many of the local cars and it was great to meet the locals too. We then had a BBQ and a few brews at Funky Car Skins and everyone seemed to have a fun night. My 10 days in Canberra went very quick and I was soon back in Brisbane and back to the slog of getting this issue you are reading now finished in time to go to print. The deadline always seems to sneak up on me out of nowhere like that high HP sleeper car you come across on the highway late at night. Both seem to catch me off guard. Well I got this issue done by the skin of my teeth. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. See you next issue or out and about at local show. You never know where I might turn up. Craig

Hiding away up in North Queensland is a monster of a car that I could simply describe to you as a stunning, blown PHAT HO (pun intended)

Jeremey Brind-House’s 1970 XY Falcon ‘ Phat HO’ WORDS: Daniel Driffill PICS: Graeme Bint - Auto Art Photography

“From it’s Yella Terra rockers to it’s crane lifters and 6/71 blower, this XY doesn’t have the wallet in mind”

iding away up in Cairns in Far North Queensland is a monster of a car that I could simply describe to you as a stunning, blown PHAT HO (pun intended). This outback stunner belongs to Jerermy Brind-house, and isn’t he one lucky man? Generally speaking we see alot of XY Falcons getting around the show scene some simple, some extreme and then there’s Jeremey’s, as if it wasn’t enough with the bored, honed and decked Clevo, Jeremey then went those extra steps and slapped a few “accesories” onto this XY to make it one mongrel of a car. Jeremey has owned this car for an astonoshing 17 years and has only just finished it he wanted to build a car for not only show but enough go to keep him preoccupied and in fairness I think he achieved that quite well. You know you can say you love your car when you can confidently say that you wouldn’t change a single thing as Jeremey told us “The build has been an ongoing process for many years, and to be honest I’m always changing things to make them better but so far I wouldn’t have done anything differently to how it sits now”.

“You know you can say you love your car when you can confidently say that you wouldn’t change a single thing“

Jeremey says this is his dream car. He can still remember the days growing up around cars like these. It was always his goal to have a car like this. One with just that pure kick ass factor, you just can’t beat it. Engine wise well there’s not really any stone left unturned in this Ford, you name it and it’s been worked on, from the Comp Cams to the 3500rpm stally this monster has it all and let’s not look past the big 6/71 slice of heaven from the blower shop punching out of this baby’s non existant bonnet, because hey... who would want to even partially hide this beautiful mountain of engine with a bonnet. In the interior of this XY is a wildly custom set of seats. BA XR8 seats were fitted in the front and AU seats in the back which are all trimmed up in cream leather and finished off with ostrich inserts.

“Engine wise well there’s not really any stone left unturned in this Ford. You name it and it’s been worked on”

When it comes to muscle everybody knows that nothing says “look at this beast” like a set of show wheels, and this XY supports a classic set of Billet Intro’s, topped off with a nice chunky set of 285’s on the rear. The sweet combo of all of these modifications means that it’s one lumpy and grumpy ride. From it’s Yella Terra rockers to it’s crane lifters this XY doesn’t have the wallet in mind. Jeremey can’t even remember how much it has cost him, but you know what, who cares when you get to build a car like this!

www.australianstreetcar.com.au

Origionally this car was built as just a standard rep, but Jeremy knew he had to take it to the next level it’s just not the same anymore, I hate to say it but reps are a dime a dozen, but something like this is in a league of it’s own. Over all to sum it up this PHAT HO has plenty of goodies, but none to give away. We commend Jeremy on his build, it takes a whole lot of balls to take a car like this and do what he has done and just like him we wouldn’t change a thing either. Jeremy would like to entend a big thank you to Neil from Squeaker Clean, Mark (dad) for the interior, Tarzan Saddles, Andrew from Andrew’s Bikes and Whitewalls, Wes from Coastal Hydraulics and Rest In Peace to “Millsy” ít’s all good!

REPCO PRO DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP NULON OILS GRAND FINAL REPCO PRO TOUR GRAND FINAL Qld Raceway Sun Sept 6 With a big line up of over 40 top drivers in superbly presented cars and near perfect weather the stage was set for the 2014 series grand final. All the stars of the Pro Tour were present for the running of the seventh grand final of the STADIUM DRIFT AUSTRALIA championship series. Although Mick Rosenblatt had already sealed up his second championship win he was a man on a mission as he went out to make it a clean sweep, but with drivers like Canberras Brad Tuohy former champ Josh Boettcher, Levi Clarke, Dan Kenneally, Barry Clark and Robby Mounfield in the field anything could happen as all were out to knock Mick off his perch and spoil his series clean sweep. Following warm up where Shane Van Gisbergen suffered a blown gearbox in the Drift Syndicate VE-V8 Commodore the stage was set for some fierce battles fierce battles and they sure delivered with plenty of door rubbing action which saw Mick take the win by a mere 1 point from Levi in one of the toughest finals we have seen. Nulon Oils/Commodore Wreckers sponsored Driver Mick Rosenblatt has made it a series first, not only winning all 5 rounds of the PRO DRIFT SERIES but also making it Championship back to back wins. With a day filled with AWESOME CARS, AWESOME DRIVERS, some amazing battles at Queensland Raceway and the 3-6 track layout which proved to be very popular with drivers and spectators. In the “B” Main event Kris Frome had some tough battles with Robby Mounfield and took out the “B”Main win to take up the final spot in the top eight. V8 Supercar driver Shane Van Gisbergen was a wild card entry and put in some laps at the SDA Repco Pro Drift Grand Finals in the the Drift Syndicate#97 VE Commodore which blew a gearbox in warm ups. This wasn’t going to slow them down though as the owners of the Drift Syndicate weapon promptly went out to the local
