but hemi's isn't chopped so i rekon closer to mini's, did notice the rear wheel archs are done properly so that may make a difference when we see other pics, for some reason hemi's is the only FB/EK van or ute i've seen with sedan/wagon tail lights that i've liked so maybe it's the wheel archs

you were lucky to get onto the body guy it's so hard to find someone that does great work and must or seems to take pride in what they do

Thanks for the positive positive guys,
I'm very happy with how its starting to look.

"Why add the fins" you asked Rat,
After a total of 24 hrs on the road, to and from the Forbes Nationals,
mostly following Hemis Van, I just fell in love with it.

Its the way Holdens should have done them in the first place.
But for my liking, the roof does look bloody high on these vans.
So I put 2&2 together, and thats how it happened.

Hey, If we didn't add the fins, it would look like Rod Hadfields

if we add the fins it looks like Mini's.

Its allways going to look like something

When I've finished it will look like Thommo's

Cheers
Jeff

it was my plans to do exactly that 2 it aswell thommo

ive seen the lines on yours and they are much better than the other 2 vans in question

wasn't trying to make it sound negative, the metal work on the van looks fantastic, just my thing like i said I don't like sedan/wagon tailights on vas/utes, BUT i do like hemi's for some reason

it's one of those unfortunate things when playing with cars no matter what you do it will still look like someone elses

i think that's why i've lost my way and don't really have any interest of late it's pretty much all been done before. this sentence only refers to me, not saying anybody else should not do something because it's been done before or it's a bad thing just my PP

The way it should be Thommo

FC tail lights should have been on FCs , Id reckon a side on photo will reveal how good they look with the chop , Enhanced fins ...
