Re: My EK resto
Hey Scotty, thanks for the compliment's. Not sure on the scallop's, my wife (into sleds and customs) says yes, the guy who painted it says i should'nt and my mates are half no (the purists) and the other half say go for it (the hot-rodders).Sputzwagon wrote:It looks like a new one , Joe!!![]()

Are you going to put the scallops back on it??
Hope I can get that much shine back on mine in the next week!![]()
Scotty.
Perhaps forum users can put a vote on yes or no for scallops?

Re: My EK resto
With a business name like that one, I expected a more radical and lairey design , not smooth pastel colours and super shine like that one.

Re: My EK resto
What a classic, the whole time the car was there I was trying to convince Joe to Candy apple Red the roof - or a flame job etc. At end of the day, it all comes down to what the customer wants. I reckon a white roof with some ice white pearl would of looked the goods as well?? As for the scallops, Joe I reckon Harko is on the mark, drive the car, see how you feel.oldnek wrote:With a business name like that one, I expected a more radical and lairey design , not smooth pastel colours and super shine like that one.![]()

Welcome to the forum steve, that green is here to stay, no custom colours for this old girl, except maybe the scallops!

Re: My EK resto
You can guess my view on scallops , Joe.
That was the first thing I saw when you drove it into the park's driveway on the Saturday morning in Bendigo..
.
It made that car a stand out (in my ever searching custom eye
). That, and the 'stance'.
Whatever you do will be fine with me though..as it's a great looking EK to start off with.
More power to you...

Re: My EK resto
Save the scallops for when you get bored, although a green flake roof and a matching scallops over the pastel green would look awesome!!!
