Title: FE-FC SEDAN/UTE Post by: mickusmickus on February 22, 2011, 09:35:51 AM Gday Everyone,
Was at the hairdresser yesterday and picked up a REALLY old version of streetmachine they had sitting on the rack. Flicking through the pages I came across a pretty trick looking FE-FC radical custom that I hadn't seen before. I am not sure if you would call it a ute OR a sedan but it was basically a ute front with a sedan rear. The trick was that the boot section (of the sedan) had been lengthened to form like a long tonneau cover similar to what you see on modern utes. No tail gate at all just the boot rolling down like a sedan. The car was orange and had VT Commodore alloy wheels on it. Anyone seen it, know it, have pictures of it?

It I also would add rear 1/4 glass and make it into a coupe, similiar to the shoebox Fords of the early 1950's I would still retain it as a three seater, just leave the longer boot.

Must have just thought stuff it square will do i just want it finished... Title: Re: FE-FC SEDAN/UTE Post by: mickusmickus on March 07, 2011, 05:18:44 PM Totally agree on the doors guys, that would have smoothed the whole look over a little more.
