International appeal
Nowadays, retired long-time drag racer Bruce Smith builds himself hot rods to fuel his petrol head passion. His latest creation, a ’55 International AR130 pick-up, is July NZ Petrolhead’s lead feature. We also bring you bulk event coverage, from a new bike show inside a pub in Timaru, to a Falcon show in Hamilton. We profile half of NZHRA hot rod club Conrodders’ members cars, part two is next month. Now’s the time to start thinking about your spring and summer car events listings, so make sure you check out the Coming Events and Hot Dates listings; if your car or bike’s not quite ready, find the parts and services you need in the classified advertising section.

NZ Rodder #197
Your mid-winter NZ Rodder fix has an air-bagged kustom flavour, along with a big dose of Beach Hop awesomeness.
A superb ’37 Lincoln-Zephyr taildragger is issue #197’s headline story. Every aspect of this kustom has been restored, massaged or modified, from the flathead V12 to the C-notched, four-bar rear. The same goes with the second lead story, a ’50 Chevy that the owner chopped, dropped, shaved, painted and upholstered in his home garage. The third car feature is a historic ’37 Chevy circuit car that recently found its way back home to New Zealand.Seeing as this is the first NZ Rodder since Christmas, it showcases a swag of summer events.
Twenty-four pages of Beach Hop coverage, along with the NZHRA Street Rod Nationals, and Ol’ Skool and Nostalgias drag meetings. We take a close look inside the Kumeu show shed, and tag along on The Ignitors’ one-day ‘pre ’49 rod run.
