Hi guys almost there. Been reassembling this to get it on the road for a daily also to get down to the nationals. Need to fit new brakes (still waiting to get them back), carpet, new door rubbers and needs new exhaust. Have got side mouldings to fit and bonnet letters to fit all the holes are welded up thought about doing a mild kustom not sure yet. Got white wall flappers and spats. Either way I am looking forward to it hope you enjoy these pics.

karsten if you look close at the front bar I had to use EJ EH bumper bolts to fill up driving light holes.
Devilrod straight up lowering blocks in the rear got a good mate Rob Walker he is the guy that makes those kustom lenses for FB EK's very talented artist we spoke about this blank canvas yesterday. Never had a FB EK done mild always kept them stock.

Devilrod I hear ya do you think side moulds(no badges) or not. Was thinking scallops in black but dig your idea. Also have thing about scallops on a boot. Maybe I should stop looking at Barris books.

Is Rob still making the custom lenses???

Will be interesting to see what he adds to the look of the car.

A little bit of bright work on the side will break up the big area

Look at some of Watsons paintwork.

It could, but depending on the style and amount of scallops you could leave them off!

Definitely boot!

Stop looking at Barris and as Smooth customs said look at Watson's

Bright work, as in mouldings.

Have done a couple of FB EK's with scallops but limited them to the front panels, and kept them light and slender. Not big and heavy.

Hey Paul are you still doing cruiser skirts? I can contact Rob about his lights if you want. He is still at same address out at Manly

Will take on board your light scallop idea Paul I think that the side moulds will break it up maybe.

I still make the Cruzin Skirts and the fin extensions
Have not made the frenched headlight covers for years.

People ring me looking for Robs lenses, thinking that I make them. Because of the other parts, and the custom tail light lenses I make for the customs I build.

I dont have his contact number.
