Another EK and FB difference

I had never noticed this before, but the air intake below the front windscreen on an FB is different to an EK. Make's it easier to spot ones that have been changed.

Like Malcolms can clearly be identified as an FB body by this, but not much else.

FB

EK

This might be well known, but I hadn't seen it mentioned before.

G'day Finny,

Malcolms using a EK wiper vent panel and EK grill. And nows hes changed his interior, there is no way to tell until he exposes his chassis no, on the inner guard.

Regards John

Had a look at his latest photo's.

Damn

your right, it was changed too.

Must have missed that one.

I was looking at one of the earlier photos when he had finished the bonnet additions.

Hey Finny,

The stainless rear gutter trim where it goes down to meet the rear quater is about the only thing apart from the chassis number that identifies it as an FB now.
Best of both worlds hey

Malcolm, you have completely blurred any difference.

FB / EK / FC and Chevy.

Even the rear gutter trim isn't a hint as it's added to lots of EK's. I'm putting it on mine as well. Guess that only leaves the Chassis number.

Well at least the chassis number is true FB even if the rest of its a bitsa
