Well done mate, congratulations on taking out Grand Champion, even though you have to share your win with Gary Myers. Think the a couple judges really wanted Gary Myers to win from what I've heard, and did everyting to try make it happen. Well done, awesome car!!

Thanks for all your great reply,s people,, it was a great thing to achieve, and was really our goal for the weekend
I now have the Australia,s best ford title(from the holden/ford show nationals) and the grand champion,, plus around 60 other trophies from 7 shows,, not a bad effort for 6 months of the car being done

AUGZMK you hit the nail on the head,, I just happened to upset the big guys!!!

tickford2001 · 12-01-2005, 05:12 PM

i say good on ya cos i love seeing an underdog win and stick it up the big boys!

so now you have all those trophies for best car in australia, its great to have you as part of the best ford site in australia! :hihi:

Yeah Rock Solid. Was an XA I think. Light blue with graphics. My memory is a bit off. I think Rock Solid was for sale years ago, or it was up as a part of a raffle? Can't remember which it was, but I fairly well remember the car. He also built Chic Henry's Jelly bean car I think. He has a few other memorable efforts. Haven't heard much of Howard of late.

Anyway, congratulations on a brilliant job. Well done

Off Topic:-

I took that at last years Nats, if memory serves me it was Top Coupe, Top Paint and something else

I think that purple coupe is owned by Chris from Revaltion Race Supplies in Wollongong. So your the same guy that owns the Green Machine. I remember you. I was the guy who was the contact for all the Vendors. Glad to see you did top honours

sbutler · 12-01-2005, 08:52 PM

Well done mate!!! you did us prowd... :1syellow1

outback_ute · 12-01-2005, 08:57 PM

To save repetition, is there a website with all the details on the car? I'd like to hear the story behind it.

Mark351 · 12-01-2005, 09:55 PM

Yeah, congrats! Did you own the car last year? I work in scrutineering, saw it last year in it's old paint as it came through. Didn't see it come through this year, but was looking for it after seeing how much you had improved on what Troy and Clayton had originally done with the car. I'm sure they'll be very pleased to see how you've taken it to another level and won Summernats with it!

The November 04 issue of Street Machine has all the details on the car. I belive you can buy back issues from a web site. I can't remember the original issue of SM that featured it as the Hilliers originally built it as my older SM's are still packed away from the recent move...

hornet · 12-01-2005, 10:16 PM

Congrats!!!
To be on the same level as Gary Myers must be a good feeling!

Sprint_ED · 12-01-2005, 10:29 PM

dude you deserve that win, at holden ford show in melb i sat at your car for 30 mins just paying alot of attention to detal, i could not find one fault, that paintjob is one of the best ive seen, well done (Y)

MRJUCY · 12-01-2005, 10:52 PM

Congrats on that & all your other wins you deserve them it's an amazing car

Coupe460 · 17-01-2005, 12:14 PM

Congrats dave thats no easy task to take out grand champion ... Just wondering if anyone has some pics of xc460....thanks

flavze · 17-01-2005, 06:18 PM

congrats, a ****in awesome car! One of, if not the most desirable car i saw at the summernats. Considering of all the old school fords around the two models i would love to do up most of all are the XP coupe and a mustang around the 65/66 era, an having them as joint grand champion winners is bloody awesome.

GTP 320 · 17-01-2005, 06:54 PM

Nice looking car saw it at the Holden Ford show in Melbourne.
Cheers John

TopFord2004:

Congratulations buddy! I'm very happy for you! I remember seeing the pictures of your car after it was first finished, in Ziggy's Newsletter.

From the build up pictures I've seen, that is a very well deserved title!!

Contragulations again, and it's great to have you here on FordForums.com.au!
