i think looking at the last pic of the ek ute it just needs the roof a touch higher and the doors extended

I had a go at Photoshopping the ute and came up with this...

extended the doors, put the flip windows back in, lowered it and added spats & scallops.

Nice job Scotty,
I may be a little ignorant here and don't understand the theme but......
could we have a "finned" version to compare - good work with PS....

thanks,
Rosco

In a very early issue of Custom Rodder there was a four or five pages of early Australian built customs

One of the photos was of an FB EK sedan that had been converted into a coupe by adding a ute roof and then modifying it

At the moment I can not find this issue and have asked someone who may have it to scan the picture.

It may be a day or so before it arrives.

Thats the point I think we are at now "In the cycle of trends" going into the ugly end of modifying like the late 70s early 80s .
Remember JIGSAW :roll: -
