I dont think I have seen this thread before ?????

EKFANPAUL , that pink EK used to live in Leinster, a town about 350km north of Kalgoorlie. He hit a roo in it and had a hell of a job getting the flames redone :?

Hey Blacky,

was "Shake Rattle & Roll" a copy of the Gazard Boys EK out of the movie Running on Empty?

Yeah, I wish I had that Pink EK back. I re-did just about everything on the car and she went well

If just for the fact that John Katsanis did the flame job on it for me - and frenched the aerial amongst other little things
I remember John saying 'Leave it to me" - everyone loved the flame job. A couple of 57 chev owners copied it after they saw the color scheme.

The gauge panel in the top of the dash was made by Ansett Aircraft Engineers in a 'quiet moment'

Rod Hadfield did the 4 speed conversion / and the seat mod. in it too

Parts bought for me (When I was broke and used it as a back-up car to get to work) by good mate who has been deceased since 2001

So there is a lot of mine & Aussie history in that car

Gents,

This is a good thread, can we revive it with cars as of today ?

I’ll get the ball rolling.
