The Car was a 1957 FC Holden, it was rebuilt about 14 years ago now. Was a very long process might I add. There are photos from start to finish of the car so I'll upload a few more. When I rebuilt it we bought the 'OLD FC' number plates, which we thought was a nice touch. How it was when I got it  A front on shot  The Interior  The seat i recovered in all black, I can't think of much else to add at this point.. |

Nice car.
What running gear does it have?
Noticed the lack of a clutch pedal so Auto is obviously installed.
Pearled Steering wheel also looks great.
Well done
Craig

Hey Jeff (?) FC's were not released till May 6 1958, so your FC can't be 1957. Use the decoder on this site to find out more about your cars details. Decoder can be found at this link: http://www.fefcholden.org.au/techinfo/idinfo.htmlRegards Alex ps. always nice to see someone create such a nice car in the shed at home. |

Gents, Pearl Craft produce the most magnificent restored and pearlised wheels that you can imagine. A young lady that frequents this forum (NosFEratu ) has the honour of having not one but two of her (and her better half) steering wheels showcased on the Pearl Craft ( http://www.pearlcraft.com.au/) web site. regards Weddo |

Oh Cripes, let's hope she doesn't see this thread   BTW, they actually can't "restore" the wheels to original black but supposedly can tone down the pearl effect. |

Actually....... Wayne at Pearlcraft can (and will) do steering wheels to straight black if you really want them but if you're doing a two tone pearl wheel he prefers to do a black tint over a black pearl. And yep, they're one of my most favourite things on both the cars |
