After our successful debut of Scorcher at the March Meet the next goal was to continue with the restoration complete with a running nitro burning 392 hemi. We wanted to take Scorcher to the California Hotrod Reunion in October and be the first Australian Cacklefest car. During the Winter months Dennis Young carried on with the restoration and finding rare parts needed for the hemi motor. Operating on a shoestring budget Scorcher started to take shape, read on and see what it took to get her there to Cacklefest..

Four days until the Renunion and a lot left to do

All the Aussies pitch in to help

Headers supplied by Hedman get bolted on

Everything is chromed and polished

Now that's a motor!!!

All hands on deck, time is running out.

The freshly painted panels arrive just in time.. Thanks to the boys at Aggressive Designs !!

All together at last. Lets load her up.

On the road to Famoso

She sure turned some heads on the way. The open trailer is so cool!
