did ya see that old chev i put on my build page, the 39 ute. id like to steal the side engine flute on that and graft it into the sides of the fe and when i have my twin intakes, make up some jaz for it.

Put bootlid on and because it has been shaved I need to open it somehow so I rigged up a release cable-note the very common headsaver bootlid stay

which ends up here next to drivers seat-can only just see it! oh yeah and stuck a bit of dynamat around

I sprayed old sump oil inside the sills,the upper dash/firewall corners at the base of the a pillars and in the cavity between the rear wheelwells and the 3/4 panels-a good no smell alternative to fishoil!Just gotta let the excess oil drain out.

Looking good.

I dig a simple no frills custom. Look's neat.

[fe350chev]

I think simplicity is the key with an FE, they seem to look better with less chrome (or at least no more added) and the one colour (or a subtle contrast) and I think the shape is so good with it's slightly more reserved pommy looking front, it is old school cool as long as you don't overdo it. That's just my opinion.  :). See how the frenched lights make the bumper contrast more, you would even get a very clean looking car with the bumpers painted, cos then it looks a bit more intended (In relation to the lights), but hard for me to comment cos they always look different in real life.

Nearly there now! Just need to instal headliner and windscreens then rego.

Here's the result of what I did with $50 and this afternoon, towel rail tube grille! Somewhere to hang towels at the beach



A couple more shots





Just need a pair of decent grille surrounds now!

[ekute]

Screens in today- the list is getting smaller!

Just need to fit exhaust, get it to idle, fit some decent wipers and then rego! Wooho...Oh and fit another grille surround when I get it!

[fink]

With the frenched head and tail/lights,i like the grill without the surround,maybe a u,shaped [chrome]trim to go around the lip ,just a thought,Gaz! :-\

[JOX515]

Agree with you fink - it looks much better without the bulky surround.  Overall, a really cool looking mild custom, I love it.  Cheers, Graeme

[ekute]

Yeah I'm with you guys about the grille but that's for another day!You know the story when is it ever finished....

[SC00P]

Very well done!! Sedate mods work very well.  :) :)

[julius]

Very well done, the car looks great, she reminds me of an A40 Austin from the front. Keep the good work happening.
