I know it's not quite an FC but from behind you can't tell ,These pics are of my ute at various stages ,         This was taken at home minutes after a coat of stealth bomber black ,But it lacked a little something so the following day   We masked her up and threw a few rattle can's at her ,This was 2 day's before summernat's and battling to get there, I was still cutting perspex screen's 11pm the night before  As luck would have it I peeled off the masking and rolled it out into the paddock to catch the sunset,,This next one is at Oran Park Drags I didnt test out the old grey but Im sure that when my dog can fall out of the back then catch up and jump back in that my ET would be pathetic . It's a good comparisom to stock height I lopped out 4 1/2 inches   The baby moon's I pinched off a mate's Wyllis     This last shot was the last day out in its former skin as you would notice I don't like driving something some one else has ,The grille jumped the fence from a 56 cusso any comment's on this would be GREATLY appreciated,,,Harko

Nice rendering, but does your car actually look like this?
or is to going to look like this, and if so, what stage are you up to?
the idea looks good

Hey Harko,
nice ride, fantastic job!, I remember poring over it last AHD, because there arent many chopped old holdens out there.
Could I grab your email, I would like some advice from you, on a similar planned job. I have done most of my planning but need tips on a few finer details.
Email me ed-ho@ihug.com.au
Richard,
Pictures are defintely forthcoming, bear with me as i dont even own a camera!...
progress is good, I have it fit up and ready for colour, however, I may rework it to make it that little bit more special...
Ed
PS why did Harko's post have only a red rendering yesterday and has returned with pics galore?

Hey Harko
So the screens are perspex, do you know of any chops with real glass, I have always been curious about this. How do go sitting in it, I have always thought chop-tops are cool but a little inpractical for someone who is 6'4".
What sort of rims do the baby moons go on, I was told you can use HKTG Holden 14 inchers.
BTW, the grille looks good, only it seems it was squeezed in with no room top and bottom.

The screen is glass in the last photo and covered up because its cracked ,it was the 2nd attempt and it worked fine but minor detail's prevented it from slipping in without breakage ,The wheel's are off a HG Monaro, 14 inch ,As for headroom I'm 5`8 and have no problem ,Heat in the cabin is quite bad on a summer's day but then the car is black , Sit in your FC and check how muck head room you have ? Roughly 2 inches or so , well I dropped the roof 4 1/2 and lowered the seat 4 inches, "It must be coool if Ive lowered the suspension roof and seat" The grille well I dont think it will be there forever -it came about through my Brother in law's sketches and a swap meet bargain..,,Harko

Just a short post to update - Where's all the comment's ,"Put ya 2 bob's worth in" or does it just need that extra 1/3 of FC to hit cool status
At the moment I'm slotting in a 350 very slowly and finishing the proper paint job which I ran short on time to do the first time I'd love to hear how you think the car should look as in Wheel's Paint scheme Interior "Fire away" I dont care if you think its another poo mobile in altered context...Harko

Hey harko.
Thanks for the pics. It is interesting to see a top get chopped. What colour is the new paint going to be? Will you have it at the next All Holden Day? Come over and say G'day if you are there. Now where's the pics of that FC top chop you promised us?
Regards
Alex

Alex and ED I posted the 2 inch chop FC in Practicality over History Technical Board
,Hope you like ! although I lowered it..
I've been thinking an orangish shade of candy gold or dark purple or dark dark metalic green or red,,Get my drift , I perform a lot of tasks on different cars and the hardest I find is choosing a colour
Wheels will hopefully be a set of three spoke billets
Dont know if I'll make it to the AHD ,To busy building a 56 beetle

Where are my priorities I would like to think that I'm not the only one who bight's off more than he can chew , The much loved ute has been sitting in this position for a good few month's now - 350 powerglide ,disk front ,power window's ,central lock ,alarm ,and chassis kit built , all ready and waiting for me to straighten out my priorities . One of them being a VW ,I think I might be a little off track here !  |

Hey Harko,
ive had loads of distractions from the tru project over the years, if i hadnt poured so much energy into other "fun" projects, I could've finished the wagon off ages ago.. anyway im focussed on the wagon at the moment. I have a US Postal Jeep wanting attention after this....
Ret,
that EK wagon, do u know where it's from? A guy they nickname "Bubble" built something similar a couple of years back, but i never saw the end result. is that it? (i donated the guards..)
He also built a 2 door chopped pink EK..
Harko,
Where did u get your louvre's done?
Cheers
Ed

harko, now i think your priorities should be putting your projects aside, and begin working on my car! you've seen my concept pics, when can i deliver the car!  on a serious note though, i saw a new monaro drive past yesterday, and it was a very nice shade of green (have you seen it? looks like my colour but slightly deeper and metallic). just picture your ute smothered in that shade with some colour coded steelies and whitewalls. don't forget the airbags! |

Ahh we speak on the same wavelength simon and I love that green too but do you think it might end up like tiger mica and see it on everything from show winning Street Machiners to 120 y's (or are they both the same thing) ? I still have my heart set on black after all it is a colour from the great depression and I feel that every day I walk past it. Rest assured the car will be dumped as low as humanly possible .and then a little more. ED the louvre's I press in here ,I M me and I can give you some more detail's and I do have a plan but it will be a little different to this pic , Ive been toying with the idea of cutting off the door frame then welding it onto the body with a larger back face so that I can suicide the door's and allow the glass to roll up without a pillar or frame like a HQ Coupe  |
