Still doesn't have flares on it and he swapped out the wheels he bought it with for the proper wider rins. Gunna be at the reunion along with my ek kustom. Told him i'm building a teardrop camper for the occasion.

Pete the current custodian has some beaut earlies

Photo's please maate

Allways a sad sight to behold

Gazard Boyz Ek lives in orange now. In pretty good nik concidering it has a new body. Everything from the original rusted out body is back in it. "Everything". The new owner that owns it Pete is taking it to the reunion this year. He's a good bloke and has brought many a sad holden back fr...

Car is exactly like it looks on the film, same interior same speaker covers on parcel shelf. Same hood bulge with grille .
Same wheels stance and paint.

Yeah stopped a few times for pics with mine...

Allways see it out on the street or out and about

Probably due to the body taper at the rear. I showed a buddy a pic of it yesterday who's had a hand in a ton of summer nats cars. He agreed with my own comments , all he builds Now are factory customs. What if's , if you want to get technical. He thought that the stance was casting it in the wrong s...

Pretty hideous for the work and untold $$$
that went into it.

I thought they were gunna nail the look but it ,
doesn't flow at all. Street machiner's for the most part
just don't get customs. I doubt they really stood back
and looked at the proportions or the stance as they
built it.

The windscreen should of come back further as
should the Door pillar. The hood looks so short
it could of come of a mini. Blah!!.

To keep proportions right they needed to keep
the stock width between the wheel arch and
the front door.

Minimising it looks wrong it's not a new car it's
an old one and that's how the cars proportions
were spaced out.

what is with this insane need to extend the front
fenders so far forward in front of the wheelarch.

It looks front heavy. Imagine if they had just
pushed the whole body 6"s rearward over that
wheel base the whole Body might then have
been in more proportion. There's a reason why
old cars where built in a certain way.
It's the format or blueprint to the era they were
styled too.

We do the odd pelt car project . I like putting mid
60s sheetmetal on mini trucks from the belt line
down. Imagine a scaled down 60's Ftruck on a 70's
&*#@ courier. Sounds like hard work but it works.

In retrospect I thought that late model sports car
doors and roof work in well. With any updated
coupe concept but are more ssuited to cars with leant back windscreen pillars.

Like a FE FC EJ - HK.

A set of moons looks good on anything of this era with decent lowering, that one looks good for a mild custom. Micks car is a semi custom and it fits the bill perfectly. Well done mick I honestly thought it would never get done once the latest of the customizing fad's died down. Luckily I was wrong ...

This wagon looks great, you'll be able to drive it anywhere with that much clearance. It has a semi gasser stance.

Nice to see you've rescued another one, but i thought the plan had been for a mild custom. This is something I'd walk straight past with merely a glance at it. But the legions here with no imagination other than for stockers will love it.

The wagon looks o.k. to fix up.

If you want a cheap and easy solution to building a convert that is V8 powered then look at a 2wd hilux chassis. Particularly since you seem hell bent on a simple garden ornament now. So why not build a fairgrounds cruiser instead. So anyway...for a full floorpan. I'd buy a 4 runner body to put upon...

I remember a feature or maybe a glimpse of it in the old NEWSLEDDER lil book. Who cares what it was built from.......its damn cool.

I have a chopped phantom 41 pickup project built from half of a coupe-ute. It has a 2" chop and i can only just fit in it. But it is channeled 4"s. I know any number of people with chopped cars, but for the most part the owners are around 5' to 6'2" tall. That's a pretty standard requ...
