Val Niel modified the FB moulding to what Bill wanted.

He said he would never do another one like it again, because of the work involved. It looks simple, but it wasn't.

Bills car is full of all sorts of mods, some easily seen some not.

It is a great example of an OZ Mild Custom

Also of note,
Is that a Shortened Red FJ in front of the
Two Tone, Two Door FC Wagon?

I can dig the ol FJ Racer too

Thanks for throwing up the pics

Cheers
Jeff

Its an FJ coupe that was built by an 80 year old guy.
Was finished last year?

And I thought my project was slow

Has it the body/roof been shortened,
Or has the roof just been shortened.

I saw a sketch of a FJ shortened a little,
but the foof was shortened a lot more.
It gave it a 41 Willys look.
Dont know if the car was ever built though.

These were taken last year

Wow, That nearly looks real good.
Blacked out upper door frame would help.
Or, axe it off altogether!

The ol fella's done a great job of it.

Thanks for the pic SC
