Most radically chopped FE EVER.

[customFC]

Here is a severly chopped FE (?) sedan. Photo taken at the 6th Street Machine Nats in Canberra. Out cruisin at night when I came across this FE in a servo. Only time I got to see it, so, sorry about the dark pics. Other than the chop (how many inches do you think that is Harko?) the car featured frenched headlights, a grill that appears to be from a 53 F100, and taillights were turned upsidedown.

Rear shot showing the taillights. Looks like an EK rear bumper also. Oh, and don't forget those side pipes. The guy in the white FC seemed to be this guys buddy, an interesting car in it's own right.

Here's a front view, showing that grill.
Also, can you see why that white FC was interesting?

Ive got this car in a Custom Rodder magasine here somewhere (Please dont ask me to find it)
But what do you think - 7 or 8 inches.
Its just too low ,I know if your going for the extreme end of the customising culture youve gotta risk looking a bit unusual if the proportions dont work.
Lots and lots of work to acheive that though ,See how the turret has flattened out ,He would have put a band through the centre about 100mm wide and about the same left to right .
They loved to do the hard yards back then and the silly ones of us still do  :-/ Namely 1 Harko

Wow,

Reckon the seats are recessed into the floor?

Which project are you working on at the moment Harko? (house VW, panel van, or all of the above).

I just finished my 250cc track bike (and it absoulutely hammers, hoping for 1.55s at Eastern Creek next weekend) , so it's full steam ahead again on all things FE related (most of the time anyway - I need a garage neaar home).

and not a bloody Commodore to be seen  :)

No Jap imports either. 2 door FC's, HQ's reeeeel low at the front, EH's with hot six's and chromies, and poor bastards with Cortina's.

Now those WERE the days when Summernats was WORTH going to.

Must find those instructions for the time machine, I know there here somewhere.

[customFC]

Hey John.
The guy had a for sale sign in the back window, so it could be anywhere now. Funny we never heard of or saw the car again.

Hey Craig.
I know what you mean.
Better make that time machine a bus, I think you would have no trouble filling it.

Ill take the backseat and lets programme it for the 50s 60s 70s and 2020s .
I love the 2 door white FC with its smooth touches "Timeless" describes it beutifully

ED I dont know what Im playing with at the moment but it feels realy good lol
I still spend over half my life in the shed and at the moment I seem to be sanding a lot of bits of plastic and tin but still a Holden.
House is half bricked now and the roof is on so by about mid January I might have a new garage to live ,,Ah I mean house to live in.
Ive got the car hoist going up to the third level with a games room on the fifth lol  ,Nah but at least I will have a slight bit more room to whored    hoard  and swing a grinder around :D

Ive seen some other pics of this car, I thought it was pretty cool, I never knew there was such thing as too far when it came to roof chops, I might have taken a couple more inches out at the back and a little bit more at the front.
one pic that stands out in my head is of it covered in dust in a car park, now that I think of it, it kind of looked like the spectators car park at Natex, it must have been around the time as the car was exactly as is in your photos with all the plates on the front and the prem hubcaps the paint seemed a bit less glossy but it could have been the dust.

I think this would be called a convertible 8) 8) 8) 8)

I agree with you about the timeless look of the white FC. I also had a look at that link you provided. That guy must use the car as a grader. I did not see one F series holden in all those photos plenty of H series though.

Winner of most ugly award. I know where this one would be found today... in a land fill somewhere!

Hmmmmm.
I don't know, John. I think it could possibly look a LOT better with a decent set of wheels & that stupid side pipe removed. I think it has that "Bonneville Salt flats racer" look about it. If it had a blown Grey in there, it might just be acceptable.
