look on the roof of the van in the background in the first picture a foam matress
me and FB crusin should try and find out more as it was built and owned up untill this money grubbing knuckle head got his hands on it local to us
we are of the understanding he got it for free
i'm sure it should pop up somewhere in an old mag as i'm sure i've seen it in one there couldn't be 2 of them

Ok, definately wouldnt crush it
I used to live in WA at Scarborough and just north was an industrial estate. There was a motor wreckers there and they had an EJ done exactlty the same as this one (shortened)

I could just imagine this FB coupe as a 60's style Gasser
Straight tube front axle mounted to leaf springs
Sky high stance
Big & little Halibrands
Blown injected hemi
Just like the old American Willy's Gassers
Could anyone Photoshop that?
Like this
or this

Gotta agree with you Thommo, it would look good done gasser style, never really seen an old holden done that way apart from an EK for sale on ebay that was in cruziin but it wasnt really gasser though. Did anyone end up buying it? (the FB coupe) I have quite a few old kustom articles from aussie hotrod books but have no bloody idea how to get them on here

I've copied my old articles with a flatbed scanner, Works a treat.
