It would be a whole group of wrangers .

I was just about to put up a front end concept I have for peoples opinions
but its just not worth it .. 272 veiws of this page since I last posted and you were the only reply craig

dismal , I think you win something for that.

Heres the concept anyhow ....

A lengthened grille , peaked grille and bumper , and the lights are spread apart a touch.
I think this gives it a tough look without losing its herritage

WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS .

Mooneyes, mooneyes and more mooneyes. You can't get enough mooneyes on a car so a roof of candy mooneyes 'eyes' would be schweeet in my book. Besides that, I think your doing a great job. My only other suggestion is to shave the car of all handles, locks etc etc and run poppers

i don't give opinions anymore because people don't want to hear them

YOU, as in you harko don't need others input i think you have it sused do what you think, stand back have a look if it looks right you have it if it looks wrong then it's wrong

that's what works for me and i havn't had to many duds

I reckon the crocodile skin would look sweet.

I'm having a hard time picturing it.

Always liked the idea of reducing the grill opening and filling in where the indicators go to give it the look similar to the '55 chev pictured.

I reckon one of those bull horn thingy's on the bonnet................it would go well with the crocodile skin .

Sorry, I'm trying to be funny........not being that successful.

Hey Harko,
Don't know how to photoshop,
But what about a filled and shortened HQ commercial Bumper(peaked in the centre) with FC number plate surround and EH grill bars(same peak as bumper) Now that could be Kool.
Or, run with the HQ bumper and use the blinker holes as indicators and lose the wrap around EK indicators?
I have played around with the HQ bumper on mine with a toothless desoto grill bar, seems to run all the same peaks in the centre and follows the peak of the bonnet????
Cheers Theo Z...........................

Harko do you really need to be told to keep going!! Pretty much on the money, still thinking of alternatives to the Moon logo, but haven't come up with anything yet. But if Gold candy is the choice the moon logo will be more than fine.

Front is subtle and as you said retains its heritage. It would help with all the onlookers. I don't know what it is but every time somone goes past me the crane their neck to look at the front of the car

Why?????

Harko · Post by **Harko** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 12:46 pm

I can see that one Theo , I still would like the bar to wrap around the sides though .

And the EH grille bars Im a fan of , used them in my monaro a long time ago when I had the wrong car to consider customising

Check out the tail lights I used

Hi all , picked up the subframe from the blasters today , happy happy happy no holes to weld and very little rust work on it to go..

Also saw this at the local pick-a-part and thought of the celica or &*#@ bar style ...

just getting back to the lace...what about some sort of southern cross stars design...like on the FB EK horn button...can't get any more Aussie than that...just a thought.

You're doing a great job Harko...keep at it.

Was looking at the swage line in the side of the EK guard tonight and wondering where or why they came up with that design .
I had never noticed that a 56 had it , check out the similarities in styling cues .
