Great to see the business going well. Almost 70 now and I recall Rod was building the Red Back Anglia when I went there to buy a Toyota Supra gearbox and bellhousing for my HD. Loved that thing and should never have sold it.( How many of us have said that over the years ) Three weeks after selling I seen it wrapped around a tree. Young lad driving it never stood a chance unfortunately

Can't forget who started castlemaine rod shop . Mr Rod Hadfield , and well done to the current owners

There was zero mention of him either at all in the video which sucked, Castlemaine Rod shop wouldn’t exist without Mr Rod Hadfield.

Yep I met Rod when he was working out of his shed in the backyard putting the box chassis under his EK? Panel van.Very clever dude.

Love the Rod Shop. A proper Aussie business 👌

Back in the dark ages, Rod Hadfield built a blown Brick (mini) capable of blowing off XY GTHOs... I think he was getting 6 or 7 mpg.😄

Well done to Castlemaine Rod Shop but the S M host needs a smak in the chops 2.23 minutes in and he descibes the girls, the women, the females of street machining as what ? Castlemaine Rod Shop unfortunately unbeknown to you and even with your amazing devotion to motor sport in 🇦🇺 by letting this go to air have upset me. FACT. Yours sincerely in , it sounds good , Rev it up . Apoligies to all daughters who were offended by this tool that fell outa the toolbox all by its self. 🙏
