Doesn't look like an fe/fc in there... Sure it's your garage?  ;D

heres a shot of the car parking area. The wagon is the next project on the list if I can ever get it in the shed.

Hi FCCOOL,
              Saw your finned rocker cover,im looking for one for my Fe,could you point me in the direction of one . Im also looking for a similar style side plate as was pictured in "Cruzin " may edition(PAGE57).
                 
          THANKS
                   FLAMIN.J

The rocker cover is my favourite thing in the whole garage and part of the reason I bought the wagon to put it on, I havent seen any others like it, the fins are massive, it almost looks home made and appears to have a fj specail badge in the mould.
I am looking for a side plate for it too.
the rocker cover was bought from a guy I was working with, his parents had a wrecking yard I think in Budewoi, he told me he had a red motor alloy rocker cover, when he brought it in to work this is what it was, I told him it wouldnt fit my motor and he said he would just take it back, I said "nut, I'll buy it anyway" it was about $25
if they are desirable maybe it might be worth making a mould of it and casting some, I havent done this before but it might be worth looking into

Flamin J, there are a couple of rocker covers on ebay at the mo, one has fins and Dandenong cast into it.  They come up pretty regularly with lost of different styles and castings.

As for alloy sideplates, line up behind the rest of the grey motor collectors, they are hard to come by, as are timing covers and sumps, I have never seen one on ebay.

Cheers,
Burnsy

Ok then - so what I saw in "Cruizin" mag from the Toowoomba swap meet was pure gold then....  

Mental note - book leave to go to Toowoomba next year!

FCCOOL - buying the car for the rocker cover - hell, I would have bought the garage!

Seriously though - re the mold concept - maybe you should do a poll and see if we could all split the cost involved in manufacture - I, for one, would be interested.

Cheers

 I finally got to start moving my gear into my new shed yesterday , after being shedless for the last 18 months it was better than christmas !
It is still a big mess , but I took some photos anyway , however I am too technologically retarded to be able to post them , so can someone post them for me  ? ? ?

This is all I had to work in up until now.....

WOW !!! It worked !! This computer thing is easy !
Heres the new shed...

And again..

And again..

One more

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Nice shed Blacky now comes the easy part.........filling it up!

Good one Blacky.  Looks like there is enough room there to swing a cat.
Is that your Chev?
Happy times setting up the shed and playing in it! ;D

 Yep , thats the next project , once I finish the monaro , and the FB ute , and the EK etc etc etc .Sadly there is no FC to put in there but not through lack of trying...
By the time I get the rest of the cars in there the shed will be plenty full I reckon !
The white seacontainer is full of old Holden bits , mainly FC-EK vintage.I was going to get rid of it and put all the bits in the shed but I think it will stay where it is.

here is a shot of mine not much to look at but a good hiding spot from the missus
                                       Cheers Rusty

Oh Sarge here is my lunchroom
                                   Rusty

hey fccool move to melbourne (the best place to live!!!!) buy a house and build two garages!!!!! ;) ;) ;)

That's a bad stutter you've got there, FC Cool   ;D

Hi All,
Here's some photos of the garage at home. I still haven't had time to build a workbench & some shelves, etc. Thanks to CRAIGA for his assistance with getting the photos up here....I'm a bit hopeless when it comes to computers! :P

You can see in the pictures my son Baydon's HR, Kathy's white VT SS, my red VX SS, and my FC. Unfortunately my EH is in the shed at Mum & Dad's place.

The next few shots show my "Playroom" under the house, which is a garage converted to a room, with access from the house via a spiral staircase. I still have heaps of work to do here, as you can see there's lots of boxes still to be unpacked. I've also still got heaps of stuff to bring over from mum & dad's. Hopefully later this year I'll have most of my memorabilia on display. I'll post some more pics then.

Gp and Kathy,
That is quite a collection of gear you've got there.  thanks for sharing. :o

OMG.. that's a shrine!

You can get medication for this kind of thing these days

Cheers
Brett

Me too what a sensational garage it will be and a great collection of holden stuff ( dreaming one day i will have all that stuff as well  well) great pics gp
                                 Cheers rusty

hers a pic of my shed?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/SCUMMY/test009.jpg)

Plenty of room and no lighting problems in that one scummy! Theres always a good side.

lol yer  the problem is there was a shed there it just a slab and power (it in the toolshed)now and i just rent so not putting a shed there

This would have to be one of the best topics ever put on this forum I reckon ,Good thinkin 99 / phantom.

Ive been meaning to get some photo's of the shed since the topic started but every time I charge the camera the little missus uloads it on the kids and cant understand why i am priorotising the shed over family.
I said well why dont the whole family come out and help me in the shed then ? Silence

There is a wide assortment of sheds alright, so heres mine. Only one trouble these days, I have to unpack my toys everytime I start a new part of a project. So the carport becomes the assembly area and doubles as the paint bay

You just never know who is lurking in your shed  ;D, Dont worry I checked his pockets  ;D


ChrisB  8)

This shot brings new meaning to motorcyclist  ;D
Is there such a thing as Kiwi Angel  ;D

Its not off track just another shot of the shed

Gotta make a note to get a bigger shed !!!

ChrisB  8)

Hey Chris the old man had an fc the same colour scheme as yours. Bit hot up here in summer.

Cool.
Watch him, Chris. Sneaky little bird, for sure.
At the risk of getting in strife, what is that body-shell in the background?

Rob J

Here are a couple from one of my sheds.

Another. Sorry, bloody messy. Yep, that is a NOS front FB guard.

Hey, FC4ME,
would love to get the ID plate details of that car. Chris' sedan is a very similar colour scheme to my wagon. Mine has the light roof though.
Rob J

Aaaaahhh    (relieved)
   Rob ,  now I don't feel so bad ,   you use the same "filing system" as me ......  ;D  (don't change it , you'll never find anything  ::)  )

  Norm  :)

 

Rob,
the car is a 1936 Plymouth, in recent months I got the body back on the chassis, long term project, so in that land of opportunity down south if you find 1936 plymouth/chrysler/dodge bits give me a call

FC bit  ;D
I wondered how the wagon colour scheme was different, and I thought yellow/black was only early 58
Maybe the "gurus" can shed some light

Cheers ChrisB  ;D

Hi Chris.
I will keep an eye out.
As for the FC wagon, mine is 58, quite early. The 59 scheme on the wagon would have included a black roof. On a wagon, a 58 scheme has the roof the same colour as the body. The flash & rear are black.

Norm, yep, good filing system. If there is a flat surface & you can balance something on there, voila`, it is a shelf!

 Is that worksafe approved engine lifting rope ??

Doesn't thet short little bird get around (i thought Kiwis were flightless creatures). Kiwi is over here that often i rekon he could just about be elligible to collect the dole now. heheh
                                  Cheers Rusty

Just noticed something in your pics ChrisB, didnt you trust Kiwi with your bike and left it on the centre stand, or couldn't Kiwis legs reach the ground?
                                     Cheers Rusty

Azza's home away from home

Some nice sheds around fellas.

Hey torque, looks like you've got a fair collection of holden parts, you worry me having 3 boxes of glazed pineapple in the shed, though ;)  especially since it is from thailand, and not good old aussie golden circle. ;)

Keep the photos coming people.

Here's some more photos of my stuff......although, this stuff is still at mum & dad's place.
