I spotted a set of Caddy style taillight lenses at a friend's place today, he couldn't give too much away as they were for someone else and they walked in.
Apparently they come from QLD, has anyone seen or heard about these?
Stinky,
Stop taunting us with unusual goodies, get pickys so we can drool

There is a brilliant guy in Brisbane, Rob Walker that makes a single Rocket style light for the FB and Ek taillamps that look amazing and reasonably priced, he goes by the name of Rob's Rocket lenses or similar, if anyone would ike pictures of exactly what they look like on and off the car and contact details for Rob send me a message and I will email them as I don't have posting photo's down pat yet!

Hi Stinky
There's an FC getting around here with the Caddy bullet style lenses on the brake and indicators. The lady said they came from Classic Plastics in QLD. Her dad in Qld is going to get their details for me. Will let you know when I get them. Have done a search on the web, but I couldn't find them.
Chris, got piccies but they're on my mobile and have no way of posting them, sorry. They look very cool..
Cheers
Tony
I'll try to get some details as soon as I can, but as I said the recipient of said lenses walked in the room and they had to be stashed.
I nearly keeled over when I say them, they are way cool! They look like caddy bullets growing out of standard brake/indicator lenses. So if installed as a set you have the 2 bullets.
Sounds like this Rob Walker may be the guy.
A couple of guys in the FB EK Holden Car Club of NSW have them. Contact details for CLASSIC PLASTIC Queensland is Dale McShane 07 5594 3286. Here's a (bad) pic of one that was in the background of a larger image.

Hi Gents
Dale McShane is your guy he does a lot of plastic work such as badge inserts and other pieces of classic plastic. Last time I corresponded with him his email address was classicplastic@hotmail.com.
I was inquiring about horn buttons and FC grill badges he did not do them at the time I spoke with him.

This is the one I saw at a swap meet in Vic - Is it the same one?
Ken
It comes from Hoon Products in Vic
That's them, hmmmm, not so sure about the "coolness factor" now that I have seen them on a car  :-/
The indicator look like it's got a stiffy ;D
Don't tell us your problems Stinky
I must admit, I don't think they really suit the taillight that well at all in my opinion.
Ken
I get a stiffy anytime I see an old holden anyway !
Best custom FC tail lights ever are on our mate "customfc" alex's twin headlight ,flamed ,purple beast..
I'm with you Harko
Ken
Kiwi just rang and said....... "What's a stiffy"?
Kiwi
A stiffy is that feeling you get in your trousers when you see a young good looking sheep.

why wasn't christ born in New Zealand ?
Couldn't find Three Wise Men and a Virgin !!!
Merry Xmas.
earlee.
like this one
Come on now Alex, you'll have to post a pic of your lights after that rap ;)
I also like the FE/FC taillights 'upside down' for something different.
Hey guys...
Not sure if I'm a big fan of those FE/FC style caddy lights, but I guess they'd grow on 'ya.... Here is shot of one I saw just 2 weeks ago on a 2-door EK sedan (painted as an FB).

Here are a couple of shots of Matthew Bennett's

they look great on the FB EK but ugly as sin on the FE FC,but we all have different taste,s
Why mess with perfection?
Those FC lenses would be more handlable without the flasher stiffie though .
Stinky you wouldnt have a full pic of that wagon would ya mate.
Hey Harko, I will email a full picture directly to you
Cheers
Matt
Thanks Matt ,Stinky must have missed it !
Sorry Harko, I didn't miss it, I should explained earlier. Matt sent the first two photos for me to post, but no full car shots. Matt got a reply in before I had chance so I figured it was a done deal.
Thanks for posting pictures for me, just wanted to show a close up of the lights on a later car !
Matt
Here's that pic of Alex's taillight set-up. BLTN.
Stinky - What's BLTN?
And while we're at it - what's LOL - I thought is was "lots of luck" but I've seen it used in places where that doesn't make sense.
Maybe RET couple set up a jargon page ;)
Martin
now Alex's tail lights look great,also LOL means Laugh Out Loud
Now that is a fantastic FE/FC rear light treatment, I was just playing around with photoshop to invert them and continue the quarter panel rear out to continue the line down to the bumper hhhmmm!
theres a thought.
Matt
I think we have covered this elsewhere, but anyway, it's always fun to re-visit
BLTN - Better Late Than Never
LOL - Laugh out Loud
RATFLMAO - Rolling Around The Floor Laughing My Arse Off
AFAIK - As Far As I Know
AFAIC - As Far As I'm Concerned
IMHO - In My Humble Opinion
Usually they are just well known sayings.

It reminds me of a company name I saw once:
MMTYCPASA Pty. Ltd.
When asked what it meant, the owner said: More Money Than You Can Poke A Stick At.
A friend of a friend used to have a boat called "WOFTAM". Waste Of F-ing Time And Money ;D
There's a pretty exhaustive (exhausting even) list of IRC acronyms available here: http://www.webenet.com/internetglossary.htm
FIGJAM,
RET
funny,i had an old bondwood 18 foot boat called WOFTAM guy i got it from told me thats what it meant and he was right
Oh Dear, 59 Cadillac tail lights belong on one car only, 59 Cadillacs! Not a whole lot wrong with FC ones!
