Title: Kathi's FE Convertible Post by: mc54 on June 18, 2009, 08:04:35 AM Kathi
Thank you for allowing me to use some of your photos, it gets boring using the same car (mine) over and over. Here is what I came up with. (http://fcholden59.bigblog.com.au/data/5/28811/image/Kat198424401202502718920090618075918.jpg) 2 door, 2 seater convertible.

I like the windscreen - very reminiscent of early Vettes and T-birds. But Mike - my foxtail! Where's my foxtail! ??? Title: Re: Kathi's FE Convertible Post by: mc54 on June 18, 2009, 12:46:12 PM OK - Sectioned and lowered a bit with a foxtail.

Cut a body up, get it straight, put it on vette chassis , like EFIJY, cruise till the wheels fall off ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Kathi's FE Convertible Post by: NosFEratu on June 18, 2009, 01:35:09 PM Yay! Foxtail! :D
Looks good Mike. Title: Re: Kathi's FE Convertible Post by: customFC on June 18, 2009, 09:45:27 PM You did a good job on that creation....almost looks factory.
Love the section. Those front guards are huge!! The bonnet needs to be welded up and a smaller forward opening 'hood' cut into it. Regards Alex Title: Re: Kathi's FE Convertible Post by: mc54 on June 19, 2009, 04:38:13 AM Thanks All
Should probably have put a cowl vent but if the "hood" was shortened it might be a little difficult to fit a big block, say a 454 into it. Anyone game to build one? Cut up an old shell, weld a frame to the floor pan for strength, one of those V6 conversions front end and a Jag rear end. Sounds easy. ;D Regards Mike Title: Re: Kathi's FE Convertible Post by: pedro on June 25, 2009, 07:23:36 PM That looks shit hot Mike 8), hey Kathi has john seen his new project yet, better start making another list.
