Some great ideas there Harko, especially in the way you've gone about the chop. Looking forward to more.

Man I cant wait to see it either Mephious it just cant come quick enough.

Thanks Rob your words are very much appreciated ,It kinda feels as though my peers are watching me

Hey Tayz Im not sure if you ever got the picture of the sledded version of my green FC but while Im working on this Im also thinking of that

.

Im feeling reeeeel motivated lately ,god knows why with all the cold weather.

Thommo the feeling is mutual mate , Its pretty enjoyable watching the van take shape and also watching the new skills being learned , I reckon that van will be with you for ever

Devilrod Ive actually removed that section in the pic a couple of pages back ,I think it would be easier but will loose some identity in the process , Hard way again

No picture update but mounted the door on the drivers side and opened it tonight , Had a nice little frill

looks cool as ,and looks like the kids will be opening it into fellow shoppers cars (carparks aint as big as they used to be around these parts)
Have welded all of the inner skin on the passenger door and trimmed ready for the outer skin to be welded.
I lifted out the engine and recessed the firewall then refitted it , will be doing that again

and next run will be with the gearbox on maybe.

Harko · Post by **Harko** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 8:49 pm

OK now Ive gotten it in one color (temporarily ) Im a little worried about the length of the doors , Whats your opinions ?

Sorry I cant get a full side shot yet , and this one is photoshopped to excuse the things that may have caught your eye .....?

Bit hard to tell from that angle Harko, methinks its time you roll it out and stand back and have a real good look. From all angles.

Hi Harko just looking at the side on shot the beauty line or kick up could be moved back 4 or 5 inch to match up with the c pillar doors look ok

I reckon it looks bloody brilliant

.

When are you going to come play in my sandpit Harko??

Looks good to me Harko

It looks the way Holdens should have made them

Roof could be a little lower though

Harko · Post by **Harko** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:44 pm

I think your right on the money Fat and Thommo
in this pic I lowered the roof at the rear to somewhere near where it needs to be ,That along with the rear quarter definitely flows now ...

Nows a good time to reflect a little isnt it ! or am I supposed to do that part at the end......

I noticed the previous thread where the car was auctioned has disolved into cyberspace

By jove I think he's got it!!! Great stuff Harko.

Harko · Post by **Harko** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 5:37 pm

See what a few good heads together can do

I need a pair of rear doors now , but as I just explained to the sweet little missus , If it aint right its gotta be right so it doesnt matter that I ruined one door ,It will matter that I got the one quarter panel right the first time

Im excited !
