pictures of (standard) ek holdens make me feel a little excited.
the coupe you are building does a lot more as I personally feel they are a much better car in
modified form,as are most,that old holden looks really nice

I like the bumper bar aswell , maybe just maybe its the same profile and will do a smooth centre ,Im ticking over big time.
The front screen looks the same and layed forward to loose the raised cowl section .

The designers back them must of loved their work ,I would

Nup , its coming out for all the right reasons ,400 chev and if I can find a 6 speed at a price I can accept. otherwise powerglide
The laws on chassis swaps changed recently but didnt affect post 48 modifieds but it bothers me that pollies are paying too much attention to us , so before they kill my mods ie roof chop with body swap Im going to rego it .
The push was needing a trailer which would inhibit the cost of the trailer + rego + blue slip + $48 a load at the tip + maintenence ,tyres etc OR get me old ute out :roll: Hardly a comparisom and Im realy looking forward to getting back in it.
The only changes visually will be some centrelines - yep Auto drags , real old school tuff 8) 14/6 and 15/7s ,the paints as rough as guts so its staying unless they make me paint it for asthetics ,then maybe dark blue with longer flames . straight out of the early eighties :lol:
