Are you going to put the scallops back on it??
Hope I can get that much shine back on mine in the next week! :D

Hey Scotty, thanks for the compliment's. Not sure on the scallop's, my wife (into sleds and customs) says yes, the guy who painted it says i should'nt and my mates are half no (the purists) and the other half say go for it (the hot-rodders).
Perhaps forum users can put a vote on yes or no for scallops?

With a business name like that one, I expected a more radical and lairey design , not smooth pastel colours and super shine like that one. :)

What a classic, the whole time the car was there I was trying to convince Joe to Candy apple Red the roof - or a flame job etc. At end of the day, it all comes down to what the customer wants. I reckon a white roof with some ice white pearl would of looked the goods as well?? As for the scallops, Joe I reckon Harko is on the mark, drive the car, see how you feel.

You can guess my view on scallops , Joe. 8) 8) 8) 8)
That was the first thing I saw when you drove it into the park's driveway on the Saturday morning in Bendigo.. 8) .
It made that car a stand out (in my ever searching custom eye :roll: :lol: ). That, and the 'stance'. 8)
Whatever you do will be fine with me though..as it's a great looking EK to start off with.
More power to you...

Scotty.

Save the scallops for when you get bored, although a green flake roof and a matching scallops over the pastel green would look awesome!!! :mrgreen:
