EK morphs into pillarless Coupe .

Harko · Post by **Harko** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 6:20 am

Man thats cool ,love the angled pillar look , The lines work well on the EJ better than Id imagine on an EH .
I think the roof is a little to full on the rendering but doesnt seem it on the car ,bubbletop impalas are pretty thin ....
I remember a rendering in street machine (pale yellow from memmory) was that yours ? it had an EJ reversed aswell so the tail light square became the headlights etc .
A purple HR coupe , Had an EK in there too but cant remember it....

Cheers Sunny Rob I just locked it in ,no more bets

No worries Thommo the banter is part of the fun

Ratbox I do know you like it

yes it does, i know it's only drawing but where it starts to curve down and along the window line looks a little sharp but that's being picky

i dis-agree with the blower hanging out of the bonnet and the bogan rake...

please do some roof lace, whitewalls, and some custom grille and tail lights
tuckn roll bench seats etc

I thought you didn't know how to use photoshop Mark? Thats gold!!!

Harko how could you not....

Haha Mark ,a good belly laugh from that hehe.

Thanks smqqth Im liking the curve in the gutter line but I like a sharper line at the base , a compromise would be good so Ill drop that little return curve down half way from where it is now - where the sharp line would be .

Ive got plans for a split front bench J , torana LH lower half and jap uppers but they will fold as per american coupes (outer side tilts away from the door)
Tuck n roll dunno ,Im liking snake skin thanks to Mez and an episode of overhaulin.
The custom grille will be making an appearance .
and the lace might end up ghosted flames yet , but Id always planned to lace it ..
And the antenna on the roof is now a definite

Has ayone got any ideas on a petrol cap ,I like the position of the original and the dome style but I think id prefer a slightly larger version and a flusher fit ?

i like both finishes on the gutter line, but i personally think that the way youve got it with the sharper point matches the car better, especially the fins

shorten the filler neck by about 6" and point it upwards

only dramas then is you have to open the boot to put fuel in and you may get petrol fumes in the car

PLEASE don't do the jag or charger fuel cap thing

sounds nice Harko....

always love the cars you are creating - really wanted that Big Block FC 'NoMAD' you had been creating, and for a fuel flap option all i can think of is go for a fuel flap door, they always look clean & neat or go for the chevy behind the taillight...but might get the same problem with fumes....

Cheers

would love to write BUMP but alas Ill be writing Pause instead .
I am not OK with waiting on anything , If something has to be done its gotta get done right now , So I pulled the EK out of the workzone today and slid the HZ panelvan into its spot ,Gotta finish the paintjob and rego it - long story but here goes ....I was hiring out a pressure cleaner from the local hire mob the other day ,I said Ill need an around 3000 psi jobbie ,He tells me they are all out and would I be OK with a 2000 psi jobbie , Nah man dont downsize Ill upgrade to the 4000 psi model and be carefull not to cut the cement

So he wheeled it out and after one look I realised it wadnt gonna squeeze into the boot of the corolla

better dowgrade me champ I aint got a mancar

and on top of that I had to get a mate to let me drive his landcruiser the other day to empty my trailer

I aint waiting for rear doors any longer ,Im gonna drive a mancar
