No Worries Sam

It was just another option.
I like Aussie cars done Aussie style,
I like yankie cars done yankie style.

Cools Cool not matter what style

after reading the replies to your thread Sam, it appears to me that you are just going to do what everyone else is doing. why not think out side the box. I've been noticing on this forum that there are quiet a few inovative ideas. You've alreeady bucked convention by placing a curve within a straight line when you frenched the arial.
Not my idea of a good look as frenching originally was done on curved panels, yours now looks like it has a dent in it, but so be it. why not continue the theme elsewhere on the car.
bite the bullet........

i love the the straight lines being cut off but curved lines...

I just saw the pictures of Sam's EK van that he had. Perhaps he should do the same idea as that.
pull it apart then sell it......
Maybe he should ask potential buyers for ideas, so that way he builds a car to their liking.

Sorry I didn't realise that I had to conform to other peoples way of thinking. What ever happened to constructive critisism.

Constructive criticism with tact works well lol.
First impressions are you are a cranky old rodder - am I on the mark

constructive critisisim is ok but you seem to be just bagging the bloke (unless you know him) for no apparent reason
if you are a hot rodder that explains why you THINK you are better than everybody else

I read mooneyes' post a few days ago and wasn't sure on how to take it

.

So I didn't respond straight away, I wasn't sure If he was having a shot like Ratbox suggests, or was just adding his two cents worth in his own way.

I'm over getting fired up/agro over little things, so I'm not going to.

It is to easy to misunderstand a post, I was guilty of this in reply to one of Ratbox's posts, when first starting out on the forum.

I'm still not sure how to take the original post

, but I am sure that I will build the car the way I want it

.

If what I like seems to be the current trend than so be it.

At the end of the day it is only a HR that will be probably be sold off at some stage (a couple of months - a few years) in order to finance something else.

It's just a tidy old jigger that already turns heads in the sea of late model, commodores, flacons and jap/korean cars, and is fun to cruise

.

Listen hard mooneyes, before you go shooting your mouth off, take a few deep breaths and have a good think.

The only response I have to this is you can stick your critisism up your arse, I believe this is where you and opinion both came from anyway.

An old bloke once said to me don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, have you heard this one mooneyes?

well done sam, i'm the same the first post i just put down his personal preference/opinion and there'sno problem with that
but the second i thought unless that's someone that knows you that's just being a dickhead, that's why i had something to say
you had yor reasons, yor certainly not the first and will definately not be the last person to sell an unfinished project, and most sell cause it gets too hard yor van the hard work was done

And if he had read as to why it was sold off he'd understand the need for more doors...

Even though its a late model holden he replaced it with
