Wasn't 100% happy with front "stone guard/bumper", so made a grille shaped stone guard using paperclip
and fly wire. While the paperclips were out I put in a fuel pipe from fuel pump to carbies..(they were thirsty!).

Wow, that is impressive! Looks like a typical Forrestfield Speedway stockie. Love the local south-of-the-river sponsors and the six digit phone number - spot on ! And the second stone guard was a huge improvement - well worth effort.
I just started two Forrestfield stockies myself, an FC using a partsbox.com body and an FJ using a Tony Ashton body. Many years ago I also tackled a conversion like yours, an LJ Torana built from a chopped Maverick drag car. Came up a treat - you never know til you have a go and doing them as race cars, you don't have to sweat the fine details such as badges, chrome trim, interior details etc.

Cheers
Alan

Cheers Tom and Alan for your comments. Looking forward to seeing your 2 stockies Alan and would love to see your LJ Torana conversion.
Tony Ashton has an FC shell put aside for me, which I intend to build as a "stockcar" also.
Again thanks, and real nice to hear from you guys.
