The Mad Scientist of Australian Hot Rodding: Rod Hadfield

A man with humble beginnings on the family farm, minimal formal

education and no qualifications, but an enormous drive and vision. Along

with a very smart, loyal and patient wife, he founded one of the most

successful automotive small businesses in Australia, was the initiator of

trends, creator of some of the most radical, yet immaculately engineered

cars this country (and all others) have seen and inspired thousands to

modify their own cars.

Often found observing and listening to reactions from a distance with

what many misconstrue as a grumpy, dour look on his face, he prefers

to let his cars do the talking, and boy do they do get people talking!

Following is the story of a name well recognised in the Australian

automotive landscape, but a person who very few actually really know.
