Check this radical FJ custom out ...........I don't like the front treatment all that much or the rear treatment... .but the interior and the driveline are excellent ....Fingers

Good luck getting that price...

I just saw this. I am definitely no expert on building cars but I love it. Could you buy a smick looking hot rod type car like this for much less than the 45000.? Every now and then I think of buying a hot rod, then I think I would rather buy a hot rodded Holden than a &*#@ or chev. My first thought was to take a day off and go and have a look at it. Are there any other old Holden altered goers for sale at the moment? Thats why i bought the chopped fx. If there's something similar on the market I am interested in having a look at it.
Shit, now you all know I have no sense of style.

Doesn't look to bad Bits/lines here and there i would change. Its had some money thrown at it in the past, but for 45g's i would want good paint that did not require work

Try building it for under that!

I like it... definetly too steep in my opion for a car that needs a frseshen up, even though its probably had a shit ton more that that thrown at it.

the seats are killer would love them in my FB!

I love it not keen on the grill but that would be a kind of easy fix
that car is a trophy winner and was built and i'de say still owned by a very good and known builder if the car floats yor boat i'de say you won't go wrong buying it, it is based on a concept drawing done in street machine mag a few years back

as for yor wanting a hot rod comment I remember thinking years ago when I had my EK convertible looking at an A model roadster and thinking I want one then looked at what I was driving and thought why I'm driving a 1 off car no matter what I do to an A model it's been done atleast 10 times before

Geeze some of you blokes are tough customers...

Im not that fussed on the front, but I reckon its very well priced.

I cant see a standard thing at all....EVERYTHING is custom.

Not quite my style on the outside but I love what he has done with the interior/dash. There's obviously been a good level of engineering applied to this build. I'd love to see more..............very curious. The pictures listed are just a tease. The price.............well I guess knowing what it costs to build a decent car these days he has some right in trying to recoup some of it. If someone wants it bad enough they'll pay and they'll both be winners. I just want more pics!!!

Wouldn't be bothered, like Mick I'm a restorer, you know that

Good example of "Dare to be different", I like the split back window and the peaked bootlid.

The grill makes me think of an early Austin on steroids, there's been a few old custom humpy's resurfacing lately and rekindling the interest in customising.

Austin A40 on horse 'roids!
Good luck fueling her up and not dripping fuel all over the boot lid. Definately different.

its not a hotrod its a custom you guys need to get it right

I dunno... I reckon it needs a little extra panache. Perhaps a stuffed cobra somewhere attached to the bonnet. That'll give it some class!

I don't think anybody actually called it a hotrod I saw hotrod styled or hotrodded but didn't see anybody call this car a "hotrod" where I did see it refered to as a custom
