used to a company on the Gold Coast called A.J's Rods (???) they did an A model on a Hi-Lux chassis....

If something that looks like a Rod but rides on a later pickup chassis fit's your definition then these guys do mainly 30's Chevy models on Nissan chassis that can be fitted with V8's. These come as true 'kits' in varying stages;

Don't dick around. Give Ken at Deuce Customs a ring (03)9752-2706 for the body and give Lewis chassis a call (03)5122-1416. Most people i know wont touch Rod City since Dennis left. The body will set you back between $7,000 and $10,000 depending on what you want and the chassis will cost you about $11,000 for the basic set up. No one here dose what you would call a kit because the market here isn't big enough for it. If you give these guys a call they will be more than happy to help you out.

There is also an Aussie Hot Rod magizine at most newsagents, which will give heap of suppliers

A general question for anyone in the know.

Do you actually need any original components to build a rod?

I know repro bodies and chassis are readily available but if it's all new how come it's not an ICV (Individually Constructed Vehicle) in the eyes of the Rego authorities that must comply with todays ADR's?

Don't you need an old chassis number or something?

Oops, double post. Where's the delete button

That's why you are seeing more and more rod's on LPG. But having said that, that's what the SR rego plate system is all about. It was bought in for Individually Constructed Vehicle and as such don't need to comply with some of the ADR's. The scheme works basically the same a the Classic and Historic plate scheme where as you can drive an unregistered vehicle on the road for certain events that's are listed in you club news letter for the CH plates and in the federation magazine for the SR plates. Hope that help's you.
