Smooth Customs, I cant wait to see it finished either, I am astounded by some of the guys on here and how quick they work! As for a mate with a chopped HR, not me.... sorry..
As for the flamethrowers, you have to be pretty cautious at night when using them by making sure no cops around cause they light up the street really bright! Great fun though.......

There must be another guy in or around Newcastle with two FB EK's and one a super smart mild custom nearing completion, using some of my custom components.

Seems that I can only remember selling to you in this area.

Will have to wait till Craig rings me again (some time in the future) and ask him who and where.

Smooth Customs, sorry, I didnt realise you were the man responsible for the skirts etc... well yes i have purchased a few items off you over the years but i just cant put a finger on the chopped HR...? Did you ever get those headlight extensions made up again?
TAYZ, yes 14" wheels with front offsets changed, when i picked up the shell off ratbox, he had a set sitting there which he was happy to part with.. will try and get a few more pics with the caps on etc..
And Harko, funny you should mention FCCool... cause he was the guy i met when i was like 14 and was responsible for the kustom bug that bit me real bad... I never knew cars like that existed until i met him way back then...! I havent spoken to him in a long while, i think he is living in Sydney nowadays..

Found the moulds but they had distorted after years of storage, unfortunatly something had been placed on top of them.

Am working on some custom parts for an EJ at the moment, but will remake the headlight moulds later this year.

What are you doing with the exhaust outlets on your custom, seeing it will be a little low at times.

Yeah, the exhaust is going to be my next hurdle... I havent quite figure it out, I will have to get it up on a hoist and drop the air and see where it will go.... I have 2 seperate extractors, so the whole system will be split to give it a nice bark... would love to run another pair of fishtail tips and flamethrowers..... you have any ideas?
