Very smooth,clean and low Devilrod. Cupla questions??..........................

Looks to be 14 inch rims Yes/No??

How much is it lowered Front/Rear??

Looks to be a red motor thats been painted in grey motor colours?? If so would there be any chance of some close ups of engine and bay as I'm contemplating fitting a 149 in one of my EK's and thinking of painting it same colour as the greys were.

Reason for 149 is we can fit to FB/EK here in N.S.W without engineers certificate/modifications and I'm too time/budget constrained and too lazy at the moment to be bothered with the potential drama/expence of going to an engineer.

Thanks for the photies, should be proud of what you've done, looks good.

Terry.

Yes to 14's HT I believe, as they clear the LH discs. These rims were found by someone off another forum as he works for the council!

As to lowering, ALOT!!!! Flipped the lower spring to the top and added 1.5 inch blocks as for the front I don't know. The torana stubs drop it an inch and the springs came with the front end

For those curious on the roof look here...

And finally an engine shot very early in the piece will get more soon.

Thanks Devilrod,

That Red motor painted in Grey looks good and makes it look like Holden had fitted it in '61.

Do like the car very muchly

Devilrod,
Thats tops mate!

Now all you need need is some extractors and triple webbers to compliment the big block red motor

Hope you have as much fun driving as you did building it!

Going to fit some x2 headers eventually and maybe hunt down a set of twins for it. But that can wait.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've tried to keep the car simple and just well matched. After all its in the little details that make the car.

I've got just the set of x2 carbs on my EK, I want to go back to single carb anyway!
Did ya get the exhaust done? And how's the breaks?
Definatley going down to Phillip Island on Sunday
