GreazeFest 2023

[Bonne61]

Hey all,

We took Miss Pontiac to GreazeFest Kustom and Kulture Festival this weekend 😎

It was our first time there, but what an amazing weekend. The weather was a bit damp on Sunday morning, but the enthusiasm wasn't!

For those who don't know, it's a Rockabilly Festival that had heaps of cool cars (see photos-credit to the 2x close ups of our car must go to Phil Kellow), live music early until late all weekend (I've included the lineup for those interested), food and market stalls, and just an absolute blast! 💃🕺

The car ran perfectly all weekend - it was nice to take to for a decent run. About 1 ½ hours south of home, plus we stayed closer to the City so a ½ hour run there and back each day. Even got to test out the new thermo fan, as we sat idling waiting to enter for about an hour on the Saturday morning, and didn't lose a drop of coolant. Who-hoo, yet another permanent solution to a pain in the arse problem 🤙

Looking good for summer here (South East Queensland), and the Cooly Car Cruise next year 🙏

Amazing coverage of the event, great pic's, but most important, your car is hopefully over the speedbumps and will run great for you for years to come.  Last 2 shots of your ride are very cool! thankz for sharing

Look at the A/C in the rear window!  Extremely rare.

I noticed that and wondered if I was seeing things. How do you balance the weight of the entire hood on one pivot? Anyway, great pics.

Just use a big, strong, well designed pivot I guess 🤷‍♂️
