Title: Flip Front FC Ute
Post by: fulls on July 14, 2007, 12:10:21 AM
Hi Guys
I'm one of the newbies (Full66) from the NSW Club
Just looking at options at the moment for my FC Ute Restoration which has only just began and I'm a long way off it looking like a car at the moment but I like to concept of the flip front, How difficult was that to construct, Kevin?
Sorry I don't know any nick names yet or how to add photos.

I spoke to Kevin at length about his flip front and he said it was very difficult to get right. His is all steel and is finished as nicely inside as it is outside which made the whole job much harder. He didn't like the idea of a glass front becuase of the flexing.
Here are some photos

Hi thanks for posting the photos looks like a very nice ute, very high standards, I'll have to get on with my ute its a long way off anything like this, my 14 year old son has corrected me its actually his ute that we are doing up and not mine. Cheers,
