That Diamond patern definetly dates it to the Seventies... Be warned ...some are actually thinking of doing their interiors like this again!.....No not me....It was very acceptable in its day however.... Seeing one of these relics turn up today would start them talking...for all the wrong reasons..... cheers streetneat

Hi.
There was s et of front guards in a parts book that I spotted last month. I let Alex know, as he is into the early mods. Maybe those guards were from this car? Then again, I am too young to know how many FE's FC's with those lights used to get around.
Sounds like there was a few.

Nope they weren't mine, they were in parts peddler and they had FE parklights on the bottom.
They were fairly common though - at least 6 cars that I know of.

HEY Ken... are you including any of these early customs ( or later ones ) in your book?... The Shark was as far as I know the first of the two door FC customs... There was another built here in Brisbane at a Wynnum panel shop. with a "roof chop"( only taken ot the crown of the roof) and fast backed...as well I dont have any pics of it at the moment but some one else might? It was am awkward looking car and resembled a Mazda Capella. The car was well received in its day but would be labelled unfavourably in todays climate of mostly stockers... I studied this car and the shark whilst building mine to make sure ideas were not being repeated as well as trying my best to avoid bad styling cues... Funnily enough the purists I was trying to have a good natured dig at, loved the end result mostly and I only got to stick it to a minority....

I think the top lights were 100e as well. then AB, then AA same as mine. I liked the AA better as they had a very nice hooded top. The French car was my inspiration for my own car.
My book will have a chapter on the older customs - my favourites being the shark with its original teeth, and Alan Hale's V8 machine, as examples of wild custom body and wild custom drive train - for their time !

Yep , You Guy's are right
Just had a look at a pic of my old Aunty's "Prefect" , Lights are the same (it was late , thats my excuse , AND I'm stickin to it
)
Was talking to one of my old school mates and he also had a Green/Cream FC with Inter headlights and 2 doors (moved pillar & extended doors) This was done in 1971 , it was sold and went to Canberra in mid 70's.
