Thread: Magoos open day 09

Tweet

Took a trip down to Masterton last Friday afternoon to attend Saturdays open day at Magoos Street Rods.Took a few pics,so here is a selection of w
hat usually turns up.

This is our old 65 Monaco,400 block,440 crank and rods,etc,KB pistons,451 cubes,old stump puller,being looked after by staunch Mopar new owner [of four years]

This pic will give you guys[and gals] some insight on what we go through to build a rod,and put it on the road,this is our certification plate that all modified vehicles must have before it can get street legal..
Any mods after the car is put on the road,must also be checked,and a new plate is made,etc..Big can of worms,but it works,sort of..

I took a few pics at the start of the drag meet,only to have the battery go to sleep.

Great pics ,looks like business is still good at Magoos.I love that chassis detail.We were just back home and in OZ for a couple of weeks and is always a treat to see good old Holdens etc on the road and looking good.

great shots. I like them all!

Great shots - I especially like the "Moonshine" truck (probably needs a bit wider tires, eh?)

Thanks for sharing with us!

Hey there,Blowby,yes Magoo still doing well,five finished builds out last month,still has about double that in the shop,,some fine work comes out of there,also got to look at THE trophy,[Stroker McGurk, that is]proudly on display.That field was quite full at mid morn,but emptied pretty quick for the convoy to the dragstrip..
Stovens,[and everyone else],glad ya like the pix,will try to give a fair coverage of what we get to,so you can see what happens down here.
glennsexton,yeah,big rubber,have a close look under FATTUB,similar size..in case you guys havent seen one of those,its an Aussie built 56 Ford Mainline ute,based obviously on the 55/6 Customline,once very popular down here,now getting a bit thin on the ground,due to rust problems..

Some great cars, thanks for posting up the pics!!!!

Evolvo,here is another shot of Mikes pickup.



Good luck with your search.Be warned,we have some cunning painters down here who can age bogus signwriting,some of it is absolutely amazing.
This does look pretty genuine though.
It will be interesting to hear of its past.
