FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

I was trawling another site when I came across some pics taken at Fast Lane Speed Shop during their open day.
Spotted this under construction FE/FC with some amazing work.

This ute in the carpark also looks clean.

That looks like the black FC from the Mt Gambier nationals with the flip boot lid, suicide rear doors, full chassis sitting up the front of Frew park. It was the rims that first grabbed me. came from Geelong from memory.

nice sheet work...


interesting driveline angles going on tho??

Would love to know what he has done to that ute... Looks like the idea that I had for wiper washers has been done already...

Awesome clean looking vehicle!

Maybe the sheetmetal was just sitting in place and dropped  :o

im guessing at 4 inches higher the pinion angle is good and that strange angle of the tunnel just lets the car lay sill...

looks pretty cool... needs a chop.

ED your starting to sound like a mini trucker thats right you drive one now lol
regards fatboy

... I suppose I do lol

love the fabrication work.

Sweet as  :)

It'd would great in factory paint  :)

I agree ED, it needs a chop, but may need a raised roof to see over the big blower ha ha! or a chop with sunroof...hmmm

Does anyone know what colour that ute is? That's looks bloody awesome.

I must admit this ute is straight, clean and tidy, what a loverly example of a FE Ute...i saved this pic to my puter

makes you think should i look for a ute to resto ??      ???

cuz it would be wrong not to cruise around in something like this lookn Kool   8)

The front of an FE looks so old school cool!

You know that's so true, my experience was only FC ( at the age of 3yrs old untill of late ) they look so munchie,tuff, bling of chrome,,very 57 chev look which i still really dig ( I guess now i look back and have to say..very USA.. which each to their own, but ive been well and truly ova USA for a long time in most things )... but now i have my FE, i've seen more of a classic Australian part of car history...sleek lines Min is Max and now has a bigger impact on me
 where concentrate on the lines and not be blind sided by too much chrome... sorry my FC Mates, i still adore the FC, but more effection for the classic sleekness a FE has...which is a big statement for me, as it's Been FC all the way for me... maybe im getn old or taken a step back


very ol' skool  very Kool  very sweet is "The FE "

No I understand what your saying. I first liked the FC for years but then i started to think, done right and not over done like this ute, keep it simple with the fe and you have a great car. but some colour combos make the fc cool too. i actually thought the fc looked more american and the fe slightly more british looking. now that i have both, i suppose when they are finished I wont feel like i am compromising, but now it makes the budget have to spread wider.

Hey Matt FC, that looks like a hr colour - I had one same colour, pm ekute on this forum he painted his ute from the plate numbers off my car and he may still know the code. Very nice colour indeed.

u have to do that when they r airbag that much or the tail shaft would hit the floor

I keep coming back to check this FE Ute out, it's so sweet

You just can't get that from a modern car no matter how hard you look...... chrome is hard to find these days in a modern car and at best its plastic.... new cars are nice...but totally different


what a loverly Ute, is the owner a forum member ??

There's another pic of it on the Fastlane Speedshop Gallery, the colour appears to be slightly "creamier" in that photo. I've been comparing it to dozens of old holden pics and I can't decide which colour would be closest!

There's a tough looking Baby Blue FC Sedan in some shots too

No one on here has claimed that ute yet, must not be a member.

I would like to know what colour it is as well.

Seeing as no one has claimed the ute I will take it Thanx to everyone else for letting me have it.    Steve

Let's get back to that awesome FC at Fast Lane.
According to the website, the owner is Mick Collett.
There are lots of build pics on their website, check em out.

The 55 Chevy dash is a cool addition.

i saw this on there open day, nice piece of work,
i was told full street reg with blown 350,

the white ute, ive seen it around the werribee/hopperscrossing area a few time so it might be from there,

  Does anyone have pictures of the black FC in project form at the Mount Gambier nats? It was sitting at the front, had most of the mods i can see that this one does including the iron cross wheels.

cheers
Scott

 Did my own search of our SA web site found this owner said he was from geelong.

About the FC sedan, the rumor is true will be a street reg blown 350.

I've sold the owner (Mick) afew parts for this radical custom which should be close or if not on the road by now.
He had it at another custom resto place which did a dodgy job, but i do believe he is very happy with the results from Fast Lane, as you can see for yourself.

Cheers
