Great progress Mal.

Those holes in the roof are the sunvisor bracket holes. If you are going to put one back on, make sure you reinforce those spots. Inserting nutserts seems to be a good way of doing it but still needs reinforcing. refer to pictures of Surferboys roof.

Just a thought, can you check on the glass for the date code on the "ARMOURPLATE" logo?
My 1957 FE has the dot over the P for 1957, my FC has the dot over the L for 1958.
I assume that the FB/EK would be different.

There was a facebook post earlier today that someone rang them and was told all the dies and rust panel stuff for sale for 150K.

Cheers Stewy   

The ones I have on the FC are 14inch with 13inch FC rim centres fully welded in. They were done in Perth 20 years ago I am told.



Only picture I can find tonight. Can get you better ones if you want.

Hi Ken,

Cheers Stewy.

All of the original running gear and grey motor were very kindly donated to get my FE wagon back on the road in original form.

I have a set of the stylized " H " button that was used as a dress up for the lionless FB hubcap.

There are only 4 in FE/FC glovebox.

Re: Window Removal / Review Mirror Color

 This link was some info I copied a while ago. It gives the ratio of flattening agent in the original paint formula for the dash.

Hi Corey, Welcome to the forum.
If you are handy with the welder most just modify a couple of engine stands.
For lots of different ideas spend a few hours looking through some of the build threads on the forum.
The search function will give you some where to start.
What some of the people on this forum have achieved is truly remarkable.
Good luck and post plenty of pictures. (We all love looking at pictures)

Cheers Stewy   

How many do you have Ken?
I asked for one a while ago with no response.
Don't need a new one, just one to replace mine that the end rusted and fell off.

Cheers Stewy   

And as for how many were made.
FE 2104 all assembled at Woodville/ Birkenhead South Australia
   
     713 panel vans (Blind Vans) with no back window glass.
