looks good on an FC still don't think it'll work on FB/EK due to the different 1/4 panel shape, sounds like it's being done so we'll waight and see i could be wrong

I love the side flash.

Reminds me of the side flash that the Buick Century had ( which is another car I'd like to own).

Robs ability to design and make truely individual design statements is fantastic.

He made a set of slender tapered lenses that were set into modified rear 1/4 panels.

At the time i think the car was painted cream and maroon

Who wants to go and grab me that rear number plate surround from the crashed car?

I think it's an FC Holden surround

I tried to get parts off that a while back.. apparently nothing on it is for sale.

I too will be getting myself an FC number plate surround..

Perhaps even two one for each end

I'm bidding on these caps currently.

Very cool caps..

Now i just need a car to put them on..

But they'll look just as good hanging on my lounge wall as on a car i think.

Nice car, pity its gone to the big FB / EK dealer in the sky..

The skirts on Robs car in this photo are a pair of my glass ones.

He made a set for the car when it was Maroon, in one of its earlier versions. Does anyone have photos of it then?

I have a set of his original lenese, they are great.

This is one small pic from a Street Machine article done on Rob Walker.
Full interview, pics of the custom & examples of his art.

I will put together another "Out of the Past" feature on Rob's EK.
If anyone has any good pics of the car,
could you please PM them to me.

Cheers
Jeff
