Rusty EK,s Ute

[Rusty EK]

so what you are saying is use two tail lights ? and join them together one upside down and one right way up , and mount them up higher , having a blonde moment ratbox , you will have to talk slower

[vintageholden]

try hq there long
thanks for the rear shot

what about about sdn rear with fins..

[Rusty EK]

Nah, dont like HQ , think it spoils them , sedan looks ok but has been done before , just looking for a subtle difference , still want it to look like an EK .

Sounds about it! I'd go the standard ute light flipped upside down like in Scoties drawing

[mrs ratbox]

Should be working , but what about this , still EK but sort of like a Caddy long and thin ??

Chop and weld two together



One for brake and tail , one for indicator and one for reverse .

What sort of magic can you do with that Sputzwagon??


Wife said if I weld those other hideous things on , she will go down and cut them off with the chainsaw

i did mean compared with this idea
i've also had the idea scotty had re: upside down there's pics on here somewhere of an FC van mez had with the upside down treatment, or another idea find a rear pic of FCCOOL's wagon with frenched in taillights

[Rusty EK]

Ratbox , so sort of like this , but with the two red lenses together so they look as one and a clear lens on the bottom.

Devirod , I dont mind the upside down version

[Thommo]

My 2 cents

Upside down single ute tail light, recessed into the body
so the lens is fitted from inside which hides the chrome housing,
so that just the lens can be seen from behind.

Or to achieve the same, grind of the chrome surround so you are just left with the base.
Attach the base from inside, attach lenses from the outside, extend body minamal amount
arond the light to achieve the look of just having sunken lenses.

Just another option

Cheers

that's what i meant but looking at it it's too big and bulky

[thropzed]

Rusty, Try sourcing a pair of these!


Cheers Theo Z.....................

[Rusty EK]

Hmmm, see now my head hurts again , too many Ideas

Jeff , don't mind that idea , could also do it with the chrome surround recessed in and body out slightly , sort of match the headlight surrounds , how they are recessed in .

Theo , they look pretty cool too , did you get them made up , or is somebody doing them ?

Ratbox , still looking for FCCOOLS wagon

[Devilrod]

Upside down single ute tail light,

This one! Just cut the whole lot (curved upper and the mount) and flip it.

[thropzed]

Rusty, A mate made them about 20 years ago. Only made the one set but i'm sure they aren't too hard to do yourself.

[mrs ratbox]

thanks stinky, rusty that's FCCOOL's version

[Rusty EK]

Now that is cool , am going to go frenched lights , but don't want to copy , so am going to use some different lights and see what I can come up with , have scrounged around the yard and found something that might work

Thanks Stinky and Ratbox.
