FC HOLDEN

Started this one late last year,is a resin FC holden from the partbox,will be painting it 2 tone red top white bottom half,the red me goingwith is Beacon red its a ligth red auto paint by powerplus.the body has white primer on it,FC is a curbside.

Cool - love the FC. Probably my favourite of the local cars. Looking forward to seeing how you go with this one Allan.

hope to do more next week,would like a FC ute.

Fc Ute , that would be cool . could be done by grafting Cavaliers FB Ute ,rear section, to the Parts Box FC Sedan . Take a bit of work , but costly. I also have started on a PB FC Sedan like yours, still deciding whether to build as Street Machine or as my second car I bought?

There is this FC cruising the streets of Adelaide

now thats one cool looking FC,will be painting mine all white, with roof,boot lid,side windows and flash in a light red,the FC 2 tone was painted 3 diffrent ways by Holden,the first was body one colour,roof,boot,side windows flash another colour,second was body one colour,boot,side windows,flash another colour,third was body one colour,with windows and flash another colour.

here is 2 new photos of FC,paint was still wet,the white is primer.

Looking good Allan, are you going to put stock rims or mags on it.

Here is my ol girl, silly me sold it to pay for my wedding.
This is how I am gunna do my PB FC.
you can see some cancer breaking out in the doors.

Shoey going with stock wheels,to bad u had to sell your FC,I had light grey ute once still kicking myself for selling it,she had 186, 4 on the four,EH bucket seats.more rust then you could shake a stick at.sold it after I rolled.

That'll look great Allan.

Cream over Apple for me, these (Monaro) wheels and i've managed to get a set of '57 Chev headlight buckets to fit.

zenrat like your wheels,this one will be stock may build rodded one next.

Allan looking good so far I like the paint.
If your ute was that rusted how did it stay together after a rollover?
Zen yours is looking good as well.

Hope to start on interior soon got to get some flat red and white,forgot to say ute was paddock basher sold motor,gearbox.ute was used for shooting rabbits.

Hey Allan - if you want the interior to be same as outside, just use the same paint and get a can of flat or semi-gloss clear. I do this all the time with good results, rather than using flat paints.

Both of these are going to be cool builds when they are finished,nut I have a question does the kit come with vach formed windows or do you have to make your own.

Cheers Tony.

Undoubtably the dumbest thing, you've ever done dude. Should have kept the old rocket and kept doing the climb over the seat trick!

Cruising down the street with no one in the front seat was not cool after I nutted myself and busted the interior light trying to get back in the front to avoid hitting parked cars at 70kph. That was dumb. but I do miss the ol girl!

thanks Bryce,paul for the paint tip did not think about that,hope to start next week on it.the hard part will be makeing front, back windows for it,have friend who is build a 2 tone green one up,will get photo of it once built.

You get a sheet of clear stuff for the windows and some templates.

Here is friends FC in 2 tone green,it is almost build now got to get new photo of it.first one sold by parts box.

Well I gathered that is how you would have to do the windows if they are not vac formed or supplied that way.

Tony.

Ya Tony u have to make your own windows for the FC,dont know if you can cut other ones down to fit have not looked into that yet,Ken who is buildig the green FC has just made windows up for his FC had bit of trouble with hes.will find out what the trouble was and let u know.

Thanks Allen as I only wan't to buy the body and use a 55 chev floor pan and running gear with it.

Cheers Tony.
