Vale Peter Thomas

[ThunderRoad]

I have some sad news, Last week I received a phone call informing me that Peter Thomas Passed away on the 12th of July. For the people who don't know who Peter was, He built the First know Hot Rod in Australia. He was also very well know in the early motor sport community being involved with Harry Firth (from memory they were friends from school) & other racing legends. The famous Darryl Harvey roadster was built at his shop Aviation Welding when Darryl was working there (apparently making Fiberglass '32 Grill shells in the mid 50's) Below are some photos that Peter let us scan as reference points for the restoration of his old Roadster
RIP Peter Thomas

Another old timer gone, read a story about him in one of Eddie Ford's old rod mags not long ago.
