I saw blo-bac at some Street Machine Nats way back (89?). I know I was still wearing ice-wash denim and pastel Tee-shirts... Some pieces of work in that ute! You could stand and look at it for ages and just see new shapes and features and add-ons. It was a vehicle that looked as good in the flesh as it did in the magazine. The paint was wild. Deep and mirror-like with ghost writing through it. A big trend around then was crazy graphics like paint splatter and heart-beat lines and jelly-beans (?...was that Myers mustang ?). But BBac came out big black and mean in a different way. I think it got a paint job later to be silver and it lost a motor. But the utes have always done well amongst the Street Machiners. Like Burchers purple WB (from Orange NSW) and that tidy clean light blue number (HZ?) in the late 90's. Have any pannos been up there in the Street Machine awards ?? I can't think of any.
