Quite a different collection of vehicles Cruzn. But geez, i see why you`d need a huge donk on the last car pic`d given all the 'metal' jewelry adorning it. Not to mention the artillery. cheers gordon

You guys might be interested in this, I have a mate who did most of the motorcycle stunt work in Mad Max 1, his name is in the credits, Dale Bensch. He tells some great stories about the first film. most of the bikies came from the Outlaws motor cycle gang.

He did all of Steve Bisley's stunts except the one where he goes airborn, there were 3 stuntmen involved in that one. One of the scenes had a cameraman on the back of the bike when the bike crashed. No one was hurt.

It was very raw, real stunts with no tricks and low budget.

[cruzn]

yes i know Dale Bensch, he was in Bairnsdale in feb for a madmax event we had here at the motor expo. We have also caught up with him at other events also.

The guy who rode the goose bike with the guy filming on the back was Terry Gibson and he lives in Orbost, i do know where but havnt had the chance to go there as yet.

As far as i know Dale was in the Vigilanties motorbike club and most of the extras were from that club, but there could have been other clubs also involved.

Heres a cpl a pics for ya...


myself making arrest of one of the toecutters gang, aca Dale...

We have been looking for a while, being a cpl a years for a coupe for a madmax project...
Well we just recently found an old barn find for Kaz, here are a cpl a pics of the find which will shortly be home in the new shed to be built soon...

[Cruz]

HI,
Looks like a good find. There still out there ,usually found via word of mouth.
Good luck with the build.

PS Love the vintage speedway car.

Remember what I told you Alan,

a man only has one life in which to fit a certain amount of projects.

Oh, this is Kaz's, thats alright then.

It looks as good in the photos as what you described it to me, good luck with its reincarnation.

That looks like you could just give it a wash and get put it back on the road. I didn't realise there were so many people into Mad Max - pity the museum wont be open at Christmas / New Year we would have gone and had a look.

[cruzn]

We recently went to the celabration of the 30 yrs a madmaxII.
not sure if i should put them here but here goes...

dale bencsh and the original helmet he wore in madmax1.

[cruzn]

this is actualy the site where the road was made for madmax4, we were lucky enough to have special permission to go there...

this is just a few pics, i even have a few videos of people are interested... most are on our facebook site.

[cruzn]

You will notice in this pic kazs coupe is home in the new shed. And the chassis is the next project, hmm the mind boggles.. our van has been put aside for a while as we get into other things. but i did pick up a 50s van for free, i must find the pics...

[cruzn]

We are thinking of getting rid of our 2 vans we have, and getting a teardrop. A smaller van will suit us better as more room in the shed and a smaller one to tow...

[cruzn]

Might have sold the 50s one. the 60s one i may strip keep parts and the frame and modify it for a home made teardrop.

[cruzn]

Well time for the chevy to go, iv swapped my 49 chevy for my sons 1941 dodge pickup...


Its a 1941 dodge fargo truck body, mounted on a hj holden chassis, running a 318 chrysler & auto. its had 2 engineers inspections, im getting it inspected before i truck it home.
I will take more pics once home...

[cruzn]

Heres a new addition i just bought. ol 50s bondwood speedboat with a falt head v8 in it, all restored and ready to go, i just need to get my boat licence.
