Phil Stelling's 1935 Ford Tudor
The rebuild of this Tudor Ford Sedan was started in 1994 in Albury NSW.
It was a street rod
prior to this rebuild having attended the 75 Narrandera Nationals.After
attending numerous
rod runs the car was sold and dissappeared. All that remained when
Phil aquired the car was
a body with doors, even the floor and firewall had been removed.So
the rebuild began with
Keith Stamp from Wangaratta VIC doing the bodywork. During the
rebuild Phil moved from
Albury to Gosford NSW with the rod being completed up on the Central
Coast.The first
outing for the rod was a 2000km trip to the Geelong Street Rod Nats
where it scored a place
in the top ten.Since completing the tudor Phil has moved again to Queanbeyan
NSW where
he now resides.
