Yes that 34 roadster is a real find. Not big on 34 sidemounts though.
And what is on top of the engine in the 29 roadster pick up? No one seems to be answering.

Thanks so much for posting that. I'd say the folks in Australia really know how to have a good time with their old iron. Loved the Indian powered cycle car, the '34 roadster and the wood wheeled chev RPU. Also with all those old engines scattererd across the field, I did not see a single one that had been painted.
