Story by Alan Cooper

I was nipped by the hot rod bug after I purchased the Beach Boys album, Little Deuce Coupe.

Through 64/65 I went to shows and met up with the guys in a local rod club, the Pharoahs. I became president of the Pharoahs, and was a founding member of Assosiated Hot Rod Clubs.
In 65 a tech college acquaintance sold me his clean 34 Chev sedan. I drove it stock and slightly modified for about 15 months. I started rodding the car firstly with a 53 flatty and then a 272 y block. The chassis ran a coil 4 bar front and rear end. Twin fuel tanks were fitted either side of the drive shaft. A general shortage of money and a career move, to Canberra in 68, really messed things up at that time. The chev was moved to Canberra and a work mate bought the body. The 34 chassis was stored then stored for a time. The 34 is still owned by fellow Meteors member Brian McLinden, you know, Raider McLindens dad.

Car was purchased from Alan Cooper around 1972 & took around 18mths to get to rego stage. The body took a long time to get good enough to paint even though I was in the trade at the  time & was finished in metalic Bronze.

Upholstery was done by some guy in Lonsdale st. The car was featured in Custom Rodder Magazine no 53 June-July 1979 edition when Brian McLinden owned it, the dash which I painted & Interior were much they were when sold. The hood was being painted on my driveway the day Patricia was getting married but we made the wedding.
