do i detect a bit of

mr rat box

just a bit of history on the cars they are not hack rushed
jobs( like ive seen ) they are actual kits made by
opel in germany; all steel panels and glass provided
the only thing not provided is the electric roof that was designed
and made by the old man if you dont like commodores thats fine
or even the work done thats fine i put these pictures on here just to
show what you can do if you put your mind into something

I think it (Ratbox comment) was in reference to the Commodore in general!

Not my cup of tea either. Horrible ugly cars. Still, I appreciate the work put into them even if I feel it is miss directed.

Regards, Smooth

yes my comments were along the lines of what smooth said, nice work but why bother with a commodore
if you were refering to my cars as being rush hack jobs remember these were EK/FB holdens and everything had to be made not bought and added on, if not disregard

Nice work indeed. I am suprised to find that most of the people on these forums don't like commodores. I just assumed that if you like FB/EK's that your a Holden man, and if your a Holden man then you will worship the Commodore. Suddenly I don't feel guilty for having a ef falcon as a daily driver.

I can't stand Commodores but alot of that comes from the fact that at every event I have attended in the last 5 or so years if there's cars doing a burnout when and where it shouldn't guess what car it is! There is no appeal for me in them at all, to the point I won't allow my wife to get one

True Car enthusiasts will always look past the badge on the front anyway, well the ones I know do.

Now as for these 2 door ones they look like something Holden should have produced even if they are a Commodore, tell your dad EK jay very nice work indeed. John Of Johns Rod and Kustom has a 2 door VK he built using the OPEL parts many years ago too....

i got a VN ya gota have something to do the shopping in

FB wannabe to me holden died years ago prolly at HQ from there on they are just something to drive, still don't think i'de stoop to a &*#@, besides my A model that had a chev engine i've only ever had 2 fords out of close to 1000 cars and they were both peices of crap

smooth · Post by **smooth** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 3:36 pm

Yeah this Holden vs &*#@ shit is just crap. All Commodores are shopping trolley's and I despise them. I have only ever owned one Commodore in my whole life and it was a bucket.

For me if it hasn't got metal bumpers I'm not in the slightest interested.

I class myself as an Early model Holden man. But I still own &*#@'s, Jaguar's and have even driven Jap crap as a shopping trolley. (I wouldn't spend money on one "doing it up")

Cars are all shit boxes designed to relieve you of "all" your cash and get you from A to B if your lucky.

Just because we love the Holden badge doesn't mean we love or even like all models ever produced. -= Far from it =-.

Regards, Smooth

the concept and work put into them

a chance ;he like your self and many others
