MildFB, customised FB wagon
Re: MildFB, customised FB wagon
At the rear of the bonnet will be induction air intake for the carbie as well as a set of engine gauges. There is a fair gap because of the 3 1/2 inch roof/windscreen/dash drop. Also neatly hide the wipers.
The front spoiler air dam is necessary because the new malloo radiator hangs so low and will look a bit silly without the spoiler. We are making a mould if your interested. Haha.

Here is the lastest on the MILDFB project, body work is almost done, don't be scared, there is a lot of Chrysler underneath the FB exterior. But I promise it will look like an FB from the outside whens its done.. With one or two minor changes..
If in doubt..chop it.

Re: MildFB, customised FB wagon
trying to hurry but life is getting in the way lately
Here is the latest large fuel tank, going to need lots of litres with a V8, so we have shoe horned in a XG Ute tank. It almost fits without modification, just had to take a bit of floor out at the rear, only about 30mm or so. It has a central seem that just bolts in, we used a rubber and bitumen seal and now have to run the filler pipe around the back with a few 90 degree bends, we found that a commodore filler neck fits neatly in the original FB filler port. The spare tyre will have to stand up in the back like a trophy now, but what can you do...

Re: MildFB, customised FB wagon
Finished under the floor, run brake and fuel lines, deadener and final coat of Grey
Sound proofing and deadener in the roof
Front end and rear axle going in and not coming out! Check out the torsion bar suspension. it wont be like any other FB for sure!
Next time will be a rolling chassis.

Bloody Brilliant ! Getting in and out will be a ritual with the knee knockers as low as they are .
True appreciation of this lies with those who have a vision and dared to be different themselves. Keep up the good work on your Mild FB .

Re: MildFB, customised FB wagon
Got the braces off, now a rolling chassis and starting to look cool.
15 inch Chrysler Charger wheels, the rear axle is a combination of 3 different f*rd models providing us with 4 wheel disk brakes with the same Chrysler stud pattern.
