Another view... this whole processs took less than twenty minutes... Holden would probably sack me for taking so long........  B4 any of this took place I sprayed the under side in stipple finish black.... as well as seam sealing all joins and rustproofing any thing that stood still long enough....  |

A big leap foward here.... ute is nearly finished and is going to trimmers... this is the only time it leaves the place other than for rego... All assembly is covered in video... Only time it sees a trailer as well....Brakes are not hooked up and wiring not completed... Was a bugger pushing it aroud at the other end ... :-/  |

Finished eng bay ....Note use of recessed radiator alows for fan and even a fan boss... This makes the red motor installation look factory.  |

A look inside... FB seat with cut out 4 shifter... Navy blue retractable seat belts custom ordered ... Cd player in glove box plays its tunes through the single 6x9 speaker in original housing ... modern speakers are a perfect fit here...  |

The finished article and the ute that inspired it in background ... It ( the old ute) still rusts in peace today across the road... I used the interior light lens from it and some other bits were used on the FC Coupe....  |

A significant moment ... here are the freindly neighbours that belong to the Old ute I took inspiration from The last time Mrs Zcolsay sat behind the wheel of a car was over thirty years prior ... she sat in behind the wheel of the old ute hoping to learn how to drive... she quickly abondoned this idea and the Ute soon ground to a halt where it sits today... Ironic I thought as I took this picture . here she sits beaming her enjoyment at trying out my Ute for size ... Her son Peter was also very impressed... Both think I 'm quite mad to do this tribute ute but childhood memories drove me to it... This moment made it all very worthwhile...  |

If these two could talk I imagine there could be some tales swapped.I used the old ute for a template for the tonneau cover for the correct number and place ment of studs....  |

I thought I had seen your ute b4. I think it was at Banyo and most definantly at knights soccer club swap. I did admire your car that day. It looks even better in the flesh.

Hey Streetneat,
Having completed your story, I think u have answered all the questions I have.
Excellent reading!! Good technical info in a very fun to read form.
I wish I had school teachers with your skills when I was much younger.
Keep up the posts!

The video is something I need to work on a bit. I have to edit out the gaps and pauses as well as include some other footage... I will be approaching a professional video editor and this we expect will set me back some $... I will advise on a release date... Most would be happy with it in its pesent format but there is a whole range of media packages I will be working on..(Books .videos/dvds etc...) and I need to make it look a bit more professional...Cheers streetneat ... thanks for all the response...
