On things like the Chevs and other GM range. The Coupe was the only bodystyle with the short roof and long boot. The back seat was moved forward so heads cleared the rear windscreen.
On the convertibles They needed all the space for the folding top to drop down into. So the short boot was used and ...

Scotty this is the largest I have done, purely because that was the size board I had. I had to modify my desk a bit to get it into a working position. Even so I got a pain in the back.

Thanks guys.
You know it was such a sharp image to work with. On the inside edge of the far front leg you can see where a casting ridge/bur was cleaned off with a grinder in the factory. (shows it has never been rechromed). Naturally those grind lines are in the painting too.

A few years ago I did a few detailed photos of this old dog and contemplated painting it. Last year I got going on it , but wow it took time to do.

the footage between the 34 and 39 second marks are of the Holden going up Silvermine pass near Cape Town South Africa. The stills of those were used in our local advertising material.

I did an initial tester mug to see what the quality was like. I put the FX coupe and one of my ...

Hi Harko.
I look all the time but never get around to posting.
I have learned how to lead wipe and got the body of my FB to a stage where all the panels need to come off and get prepared for painting.
I will post a few pictures in a few ...

HI Dan
This is about as close as I think I can get the colour to the linked picture you posted.
Take a look. It's a fairly small file on the photobucket link. If you need a bigger/sharper version, just PM me with your e-mail address and I can e-mail it to you.

Hi Dan.
I have got the colour change on the go at work. We had a bit of a lul at the office, then I ran out of time to complete. Should get it to you in a day or two.
