I saw a new old stock picnic tray at a swap several years back. still in it's original box with fitting instructions. It was $140 from memory. Wish I had bought it now. I had a NOS Smiths clock that fit in an accessory panel with temp guage below the steering column. Sadly I lost this item when some animal stole my FC. Never saw the car again. Regards Alex

WoooHooo!!! Well done SA members. I know what it feels like to have your FC stolen. Not a good feeling. Don't know what it feels like to find it again though. *%$#^ BA$T^*#$ Regards Alex

Hi Digger. Nice looking car you got there. Remember, no matter how much rust you cut out, you can always count on more down the road. That's just the way it is for a daily driver. Regards Alex

Hi Chris. I can help out with the instructions for the demister vents. I also have a copy of the template for the heater, showing where to drill the holes in the firewall. I will scan them and email them to you in the next few days. If anyone else would like a copy, email me at customfc@rodrun.com. Regards Alex

Hi Stinky. My car has had a few different paint jobs, including satin black and flat black. I have included a couple of different shots to give you some idea. With the flat black, the paint tended to turn grey after a while and need a fresh top coat. When the flames went on, this ment a lot of work to freshen up the black (masking flames) so I decided for a fresh look in purple. This is the colour I always intended. Satin black, my car' first full paint job, 93. The addition of scallops to break up the all black. Note my old custom grill. This grill is now in Craig Jordan's FE. Flat black in 94. Flames added for the 5th Nats in 95. Regards Alex

Thought you might like to see a pix of the Tilli 'Styletone' set up on FC. The jewel that Ken mentioned is on the front door above the trim and below the door handle. Here also is a copy of a Tilli advert from Aug 58. Here is a close up of the 'Styletone' FC in the advert. Hey Ken, how about some pix of the other combos. Regards Alex

Hi Mike. Sounds like what you have there is a FE guard from a standard sedan/wagon or utility or van. The 'Holden' script was found on the FE, a short spear appeared on FC's. See Richard's reply on your previous post. Regards Alex

Here is a pic of Paul Grech's FC that has a Tilli 'Crestline' kit installed. BTW, that's my FC with Paul's at the drags, back in the days when it was flat black and still had the not so trusty old grey. Regards Alex

Hi Coolaride. Nice cars. Tell us more about them. How long have you had them? How did you come across them? Did the sedan come with that flash? Why didn't you join us at the FE FC Nats? Regards Alex

Hi Tony. First time I heard about that trick. Will have to check out some others. If it is only on yours, my guess is that it is a smart previous owner who was worried about the car being stolen and re-birthed. No-one else would think to look there. Regards Alex
