HQ ute

Allan maybe a big block chev that will fill that bay but then again I love big blocks in utes.

Cheers Tony.

only engine that i have in 1/24 scale is a 455 pontiac,hopeing the 308 is in 1/24 scale.

Allan is there someone casting the 308 in resin.

Cheers Tony.

308 sounds great! Stick a two barrell on it and call it a 253! Wouldnt mind one or two myself. Stick a Big Block Chev in it Allan, that'll fill in the gap nicely!

Looks to be 25th scale Allan, and I ain't no Holden expert so you guys tell me if it looks like an accurate 253/308, I'm pretty sure it comes with a stock aircleaner as well,

Thats looks cool,now that would look soooooo cool in ute,have pm shoey to ask what scale the engine sould be.does it come with 4 speed or powerglide,(auto).that engine would look great in so many builds,

that looks like a holden V8 to me where can i get some ?

Just found out that I need a 1/24 scale V8 for the ute like old school buick or Pontiac as they have the same v as the 308,so will be useing the 455 pontiac motor that I have,still would like a couple of 308's for other builds.

What ever way you go Allan it will look spot on,but that 08 does look good.

Cheers Tony.

working on inside,found tub,bucket seats,anyone know away to get scratches out of plasticwindscreens,thinking of doing a 2 tone of the ute,dark gold on bottom with the light one on top,y/n??.

just found a in line 6 with tripple carbs in 1/24 scale,but its out of a 53 chevy,if me was building a early holden ute I could of gotten away with it but not for the HQ ute,Bugger.
