Hay Rob, just looking at the front witht the panels on, I think it would look awesome with camaro headlights and grille in it, after all it is a frankenstien, it needs lots of bits from lots of cars.

Just a thought.

Cheers.

if it is going to be a track car race car then surly sticking with the UC or LX panels which would be easier cheaper to replace would be the smarter move?

Gee Au panels $800, 3 compleate AUs would be worth less than that.

I will be using all HOLDEN O.E.M parts unless fabricated

These are HZ Statesman grills and before you say "that looks crap" it's only a rough-in.
They will be trimmed so they sit flat with each other and be painted all black.

And Steve, yes I know what you're thinking but they are both cracked.

I don't dislike it, the different coloured slats on the main grill detract from it but if they were all the same like the headlight covers it may work.

Its a good thing you have a thick skin rodomo with all us armchair critics :)

The selling point would have to be the awesome paintjob that yours truly did on the bonnet and valence panel a few years ago, hah!

Good stuff Roberto :P

That'll be it for a while. It rolls and steers (held together with 5 tec screws) and I have condensed 2 shells into 1.


I'm a bit tied up at the moment.
