Here is yet another build in progress. 1984 VK Commodore. The car started out as a late 80's Nissan Skyline, 3 versions of the car will done as add on's, the Group A, the Group 3 and the Last of the Big Bangers racing VK. This car when completed will be moulded.
I can then start on the VC, VH and then a VL. but for now I'd be happy to just get this one finished.

Very nice work there Shoey.

I'd love to be able to do that sort of stuff, maybe you could do a tutorial for us all.

Thanx

Shoey that's awesome work. Did you ever work in General Motor's styling department? What are you using for "bog"?

Just found this one Shoey - amazing workmanship mate. You're a pioneer. I find this kind of thing very inspirational - it makes me want to get out in the shed and try and create something new and different myself. Wouldn't be a bad thing if you wanted to add a bit more description to the photos - I would love to know how you go about these conversions.

Hope to see it finished soon and would like to put in an advance order for a couple of VK Group C body shells!

Have any of you blokes considered the possibility that Shoey just might like to keep his methods a trade secret? Other wise all of yez would be doing the same and then where would he be. In the Two Wheels forum, many people have praised me and Sean for scratch building our bikes, well I reckon Shoey deserves the same praise. His cars are every bit as scratch built as if there was no kit to start with. It's amazing how one car body can be modified into another and be so close to fair dinkum. Great work Shoey.
