FC Lounge

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

The project started today, I have donated the back off one of my wrecks and various other club members will be donating time and materials to complete the project.
First it will head off to Stephen Shepard's blasting business for a clean up, then some panel beating, fabrication and paint before coming back to my place for a re-trim.
Not sure how we are going to off-load it, there is a poll going for suggestions.

Ron and Glenn


2 grinders and a reciprocating saw made short work of it.


AFTER

[Rabbitoh]

Hey Stinky,
How's the front half of the floor? I am interested if it's in fair shape as my van's floor is a shocker. (Some goose even cut out a portion of the under floor bracing over the gearbox rear extension
Also need a front subframe in good nick?

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

Sorry Rabbitoh and anyone else, the rest of the car is spoken for.

[GMB-58FC]

Keen to see how this pans out, its something i want to do but not sure what car to source/use as yet.

Out of interest are you guys using any form of plans for the lounge or just common sense???

Cheers Ben

[TTV6FC]

Can't wait to see the progression of this one.I'm sure it will be a cracker.Just got told by the missus "Don't get any ideas!"....she's a bit late....

[jack_fc]

Raffle it at the nationals, $5 a ticket - every member would buy at least one ticket? Non-members would surely buy a few too?
Cheers

Looks like I had better hook up the trailer for the trip over. Would hate to win and then have to leave it at the inlaws.

Cheers Jim

The shell has been blasted and primered, thanks to club member Steve Shephard

Soon it will be back to Lewiston so that I can make up the framework for the upholstery and get some legs under it.

Then it's off to the panel guys.

[surferboy]

Hey Jim

What do you mean , you will have to hook up the trailer ??

I was hoping free delivery came as part of the prize 
( for when I win it  )

 

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

Work continues, today I welded in some square tube for general support and as a base for trim that will eventually go in. The rest of the trim framework will be either MDF or ply.
Next it's off to the club panelbeaters and spray painters.


Thanks go to minifcvan and ttv6fc for their donations of parts. There is still some parts we are after so if you can pitch in we would appreciate it.

A quick update, no pics.
Bodywork has now been finished by Scott Millar (collecta) and the lounge will be making it's way to Iain Burn's (itb) place for a splash of colour.

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

I have just got word from Protec Paints that they will be donating the paint and thinners for the paint job on the lounge.

Protec Pty Ltd

Telephone: (08) 8447-6311

so make sure you all use their products from now on!

Another sponsor for the lounge, you can't have a novelty lounge without a novelty number plate.
So I contacted a place that advertises such services but they politely declined but offered to sell at their normal rate (starts with "SH" and ends in "oom"  and I think there's a b in the middle ).
Then I contacted an old friend and fellow Lithuanian descendant Ziggy at Uncle Henry's Memorobilia
http://www.unclehenrys.com.au/
and he was more than willing to donate a plate.
Suggestions at the moment are
FC 50th
FC 1958
any other suggestions will be noted, maybe even used 

[jack_fc]

good on ya, Ziggy / Uncle Henry's!
Number plate - 2FC 001

If its legal, I could always donate one of my personal plates to go on the couch ? I also have it in green and gold.

Cheers Jim

PS if I win this is the plate I will most likly fit to the car.

[Ed]

How about something creative like.

NATS 08

what's the limit on characters?

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

Thanks for the offer Jim, but there is the slightest risk of the plates going into the wrong hands etc, etc and being traced back to you, so I'd rather not.
