Wayne With A '61 EK Holden

[WayneXG95]

nice wayne good call on the colour mate one of the best original colour combo's shali and strata I reckon
hows the interia original

While were talking about this colour scheme, all these ek's with this scheme look like they were hydamatics
wonder if Holden made them all this way, never seen a manual with these colours?
I know of one in New Zealand, one in Brisbane and one that was in Sydney but was stolen a few years back, anyone know if any more are around?

Here's the New Zealand one.

Nice one Wayne. What wheels will you be running? Have you got another set of fruit baskets for this one?

Love the colour. We need more photo's of the build please!

This what I have planned to run on, 6 inch wide, Bit of a problem with the flappers at the moment..

What trouble are you having with the flappers, Wayne ?

That wheel/hubcap/tyre combo looks awesome . No fruit baskets here

[space ace]

Cool stuff cant wait to see this one at its first show.

If milkshakes anything to go by, blueberry is going to be a pearler!

As for flappers, they do require some patience and care to get right.

Ditto, DR - Wayne has milkshake to take out whenever he wants to go for a spin..... Blueberry will more than likely get the precious little time advantage Milkshake didn't..... and I don't believe there'll be much in it.... Milkshake was a joy to look over..

frats,

Jay the interior is to be done in Viscount & Zenith Blue with Stardust Gray Bolsters..
I had the matching material imported from the states, used SMS Interiors the same company that Craig used and they matched the swatch samples we sent perfectly!..
I'll put more on that in another thread later..But you can import the correct material with pattern for FB and EK's now..
You can also import the excact headlining for the roof with random star pattern..around $395 landed
I got mine after Craig got his and it should go in in the next 2 weeks.

Have you got all of your interior back from the states Wayne. Starting to wonder why the hell mine is taking so long. Its been over a year now.

[WayneXG95]

Yes it arrived two weeks ago Craig.
My door cards are in Melbourne getting embossed as we speak..

Milkshakes now on club plates so Blueberry will be my daily driver for a while..

[WayneXG95]

So anyway after getting the EK to Rusty's he's into it with the wire wheel and stipped it back to bare metal...
I was thinking of replacing the floor with a manual one but it was to good for that so we left it.
The floors were perfect...



As the EK was to be a daily driver we decided to paint the underside and engine bay with 2 pac
Rolled it on it's side and where getting there! Nothing like having something half decent to start with....





2 pac undercoat on.





Final coat in Clinker Gray on the underbody.





And the all important tag.

[rosco]

What a find!

I was getting harassed at club meetings and never confirmed it but ya can't keep things from this lot..

Hi "I havn't got a second project Wayne"



I'm sure she will be a knockout once Russell is finished.

Who me?, what, were, who, huh, blank face...
I said I had a second car, a blue one...

[WayneXG95]

Ok the subframe has been painted, and as said before in 2pac for wear and tear.
Not a bab subframe this one...

Looks Black but it's Clinker Gray





Another great tool that professional painters use other than milkcrates is the old Hills Hoist!..
