harko and matty got the day off 2moro will roll her out
and get some pics
bex ive still got the leaf springs just removed them all bar 2 and had them
reset and put 2in blocks under it and used a eh diff(u bolt type)
then had to cut the boot floor out and made a new crossmember that sits about the rail.
i think ekk001 has done the same as me to aput a four link only in my opinion is a waste of time
and money in a ek/fb you could notch the rail but you can only go so far with the wheel wells

Hey Matty, I've been waiting on a set of '57 chev indicator lenses from dale now for more than three weeks. He was to send them before the garter belts and gasoline show! Rob walker is going to do another run of his tail lights. I'll see how long.

hey mez, have you considered tubbing the rear then?
we checked out mine on the weekend and it should lay almost flat without a big notch, may even just get away without having to cut up the chassis at all. but in saying that, won't really know until it's go time.
the EK is looking good, keep them pics coming

Hi Mez
Your car looks absolutely amazing, I couldn't quite believe what I was looking at when I saw it for the first time. What a beautiful job! Go the 2 door - it's almost like seeing something from a parallel universe, and the other thing is the colour... I don't want to offend you, but that just has to be Monza Green the same as our 1971 XY wagon?? (sorry for nearly mentioning the F word!).
One day soon I'll post a pic of my dear old Babe. She's very shabby at the moment but my God she's beautiful, and one day she'll be the most stylish car in our shed!
Love what you've done,
Heather
