Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: Fast_Eddie on June 21, 2005, 07:08:23 AM Steve,
Can you find out how he did the tonneau cover on the EK? It's made of/covered with the normal vinyl, but has no visible fixings. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/fc_58-59/Summernats/ek.jpg) Would love to do the same on my FC ute. Regards Ed Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: stevefcvan on June 21, 2005, 08:26:14 AM i will find out for you mate

You shoulda introduced yourself. We woulda shared the moment with you. I remember you saying g'day, but did not know who you were.....we had a bit of that, met some nice folk and heard about some Nostalgia cars being built. Nice pics everyone. I will get mine up soon. Had a blast!! Regards Alex Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: Fast_Eddie on June 21, 2005, 10:31:25 AM Quote ran into Alex (custom fc) and John Rapinette, but they were too busy studying their timecards.... ...not surprising, they both had some pretty big numbers to contemplate... ;D Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: customFC on June 21, 2005, 10:47:41 AM Edward, Edward, Edward....you shouldn't leave yourself open like that.
I believe you entered your Ford on the day......enlighten us on the times you ran. Oh that's right, your Ford never made it out of your garage. You should have entered your Holden, it wouldn't have let you down. :) Our numbers may not have been as low as some, but our grins were as big as anyone there. ;D ;D ;D Regards Alex Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: SRVLIVES on June 21, 2005, 10:47:55 AM hey Alex, no biggie mate.... just remember to look out for mine at the next meet!
p.s I still want some tech on your taillights man.... and who did your striping? Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: Fast_Eddie on June 21, 2005, 11:12:33 AM Alex,
Just making sure you were watching ;D Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: gp on June 21, 2005, 07:20:28 PM So..........what happened......who's got the fastest stock grey?? Did "Mr Sideplate" Saul get knocked off his pedestal or what?? ;D
Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: RET on June 21, 2005, 08:56:21 PM Mr Sideplate holds his crown for another day - there were no grey powered challengers :-/
What a great day it was. Here are a few pics I took. (http://tinypic.com/66hxld) This caught my eye in the car-park. One of Chuck's photos shows this car in a line-up. (http://tinypic.com/66hxug) (http://tinypic.com/66hy1e) This was the fastest early Holden in the Nostalgia section, running at least one eight second time. (http://tinypic.com/66hye1) And no surprises that Joe Schembri's supercharged outlaw FC was the fastest Holden of the day. I can't recall what it ran now, very low 8 I think. As Mick Dundee might say, "That's not a wheel tub. This is a wheel tub" ;D (http://tinypic.com/66hyy1) And here come our normally-aspirated in-laws :) The look on the face of the kid says it all I reckon. He had Alex for reaction-time, and was with him up to the eighth-mile mark ;D ;D cheers RET Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: FC0058 on June 22, 2005, 07:03:18 AM Hi All

Cheers Ed Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: MalFE on June 22, 2005, 11:58:07 PM Tried to do donuts half way down the strip, lucky not to hit the wall.

Title: Re: wsid june 19 nostalgia drags Post by: Fast_Eddie on June 23, 2005, 07:50:40 PM I regularly see the seude blue 32 Ford with the number plates starting with "TEX" in the photos posted by SRV negotiating Sydney peak hour traffic on Warringah Rd - Roseville Bridge - Eastern Valley Way.
