The best traditional hotrod builder in Australia 🇦🇺 

He wasn't kidding, that flathead sounds sweet!

Chad and Jolene have shown us some high quality pieces so far. Hope to see more of the same!

Them talking about the car being in a movie. Two of our 57s (around 1981 or so) were in a movie called "Crisis at Central High", about the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas which happened in the late 1950s. Joanne Woodward was the main star. As a matter of fact, my wife and her sister were extras in the movie too. They took our two main 57s Chevys (I had to make some quick changes on mine...replace the hood, put stock wheels and tires on etc), painted them as Police Cars from the period, using black water-based paint promising the paint would not hurt them. Well, that was in one of the hottest summers we had ever had up to that time and the paint cooked on. Ruined the paint so they had to pay me to repaint them. No big deal because I was always doing something to those cars...engine changes, different colors, cams, rear gears, etc. Friends told me I need to put zippers on my engines, I had them out so often. :)

Thank You for taking us along in your travels. Queensland is beautiful. Craig Lockhart's tour of his shop was outstanding."Cooler than Dangit".

Awsome nice people you have met thanks for taking us along.

Ive lived in Australia my entire life and am totally gobb smacked at the quality of the content you're doing.. big upps to you mate. Cheers

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, it does, this video was better than yesterday. That guy was unreal the skills he has and willing to explain things. American people could take a lesson in etiquette from the Australians. Great video

The adventure continues thanks for taking us along

Another shop with history and quality. Thanks for the tour Chad and Jolene

Another great video showcasing some Amazing Aussie Talent. It is great that Rod is taking you both around to these places. I appreciate your respect of our trades people Chad. Jolene is still the Queen of the Camera.

Just loving these Aussie vid's. What an amazing assortment of years and shapes and models. Thanks for taking us with you.

Wow their shops are absolutely spotless

This maybe Chads first trip to Australia,but you can see he already loves it and not every one who lives in Aus gets to see these places so thanks for bringing us along on your Aussie adventures👍

Great tour!

When you sign something you should give Jolene the pen She is definitely part of the team Happy Holidays

Good day mates how are you two today? I really enjoyed the visit to Craig's shop today. He is really well equipped to do engine and body construction, that is quite the shop that he has there. I found the visit to be absolutely fascinating and I learned quite a bit. Thank you again Chad & Jolene for taking us along on your journey, I really appreciate it and I am sure that everyone else does too.

Looks like your both having fun

Wonderful. Chad's picking up the vernacular and there's some pretty cool talking going on. Great to see you two out and about - you're born interviewers.

Wow what a tour by a very knowledgeable fellow. Nice

I’m sure enjoying following you guys around chad, thank you so much,,luv ya’s,,👍👍😀

Great to watch the video of Craigs business and your interest. He certainly is a talented person. Thanks to Rod for his organising all this content. Excellent viewing. Enjoy your stay in my part of the world. Cheers, Chris. Sunshine Coast. Qld. 👍🦘

Just finished watchin this Vid for the second time & its awesome, a gr8 show, Graig is 1“modest” and “humble” person with a wealth of knowledge, Brad is a kool dude with ears open & willing to still learn new tricks,

WOW that flat head sounds great 👍🇨🇦

I hope you are enjoying your time in Aus Chad and Jolene Qld is a great state but you need to come back again and do more of Aus. NSW and Victoria next time. Victoria is more similar to Canada but without the snow unless you go up in out mountains in Winter. Same sort of car culture in Vic and NSW , heck all over Aus. Enjoy the hospitality and your time here.

Another great video guys keep ‘‘em coming
