Title: Madron's cars, bikes & trikes added.
Post by: Manky Monkey on March 29, 2008, 10:17:38 PM
Madron emailed in a bunch of photos of various cars & bikes he's built over the years. Not enough for a full write-up on each so we've made up a page to list them all with the available info. First the cars. Next we'll cover the bikes, then the trikes.
                                                           -thanks Ron ;)

Ron's speciality is fibreglass moulding. Wonder if those were his own hands? He showed us a pic of the same van in..blue & white I think, with red Indian heads moulded into the rear doors.

hi we made hands overlarge to flow with the size of the headlights as they were larger than pop ones and the rear doors originally had a mural on of a herd of buffalo but thought it was too much with the ones on sides it also had nitrous oxide from trevs a prototype (at the time) 3 stage system and firs t time i used it mate ended up in the rear WITH the passenger seat wouldnt go in it with me again wish i still had it

I havnt got any photos Ron wont let me have a camera when Im round him :( but lots of storys I could tell that would make you heat bleed and you ribs crack he aint called MAD RON for nothing  ;D  ;D  ;D I started working with Ron when I was just a kid of 13 ,I think it was the Norton chop he had that I got me hooked on customs  :-\ .If only I had stayed away I might have been sane today  ::) I was quite happy growing up normal playing on tarzan swings down in the woods and getting bathed in front of the fire in a tin bath,But it was not to be, I ended up meeting Ron and swinging of MAD buggies n bikes and getting bathed in muddy boggs . He`s got no class and the s**t sticks .He`s a crazy guy with a MAD BAD attitude ,great to argue with and a great friend even though he`s always wrong and I`m always right  ;D plus I blame Ron for getting me into padded tartan shirts which seems to be the norm round crazy custom freaks  ;D I better stop there all this reminiscing is making me feel sad thinking what a life I could have had ,you never know I could have had a volvo and a 9 to 5 job and thought of nothing but flowers , opera and agreed with the government .NAAAAAAAAA fk that glad I am as mad as you lot  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  8)  :-\
