Killer job mate. Not even any rust under the battery box! It’s going to be sick!

It’s far from perfect but it’s a good start 👌🏻

Nice mate

Just subscribed, doing same. Our first car project. Rod shop front and 9inch diff so far in, hopefully fit motor and gear box next week🤞 still working out who to send to for fabrication work and engineering

Been busy on it but haven’t had a chance to film. It’s rolling and steering, started putting engine together this weekend should have it buttoned up with Tim next weekend. What state are you in?

the half 56 plymouth - half 56 chevy look is sharp. Very nicely styled car.

Often referenced as a “mini 57” down here. We love this model. Thanks for checking it out.

Cool project mate! As a kid mums car was an old FB wagon. Always had a soft spot for them since. I had an EK wagon that I let go due to rust issues and prioritising other projects like my HK coupe. Lost a few cars in the bushfires so decided to thin the herd further. I would have loved to do something similar to what you have planned. You have a really solid example there by the looks. Look forward to following the build. New subscriber. Cheers.

Thanks for following. Sorry to hear you were affected by the bushfires. The wagon has been a great cruiser since we have owned it and as a bit of a grey motor freak I was reluctant to butcher it but at the end of the day with this conversion done I think it will get a lot more use and the family will enjoy the car more! Cheers

Purity does have it place, but if this means that the Long Roof can get back out their on modern roads. To become a more reliable Car, then I'm all for it. Cause let's be honest, when was the last time you were able to buy ANY parts for these cars, let alone the Old Grey's. It was also great to catchup at the OTL Xmas bash, the Grey Ghost looks very sharp 👍👍

100% James and likewise it was good to meet you in person at the OTL Xmas bash. As you know I’m a massive grey motor fan but bringing the car to a slightly updated version of itself will certainly see it out of the shed more. Plus a bit of extra power will mean a road trip entry is possible in the future 👌🏻

Looks good mate good job I’ve got a cousin who drag races an EK called “special K” not far off an FB…… He told me once if you put big power through em the chassis twists and they need to be strengthened up….. Hopefully you won’t have to do that he’s doing 10 seconds quarter-mile, which is pretty fast as you know

Is that Sam Rhodes from WA “special K”? If so I grew up watching that thing doing massive wheel stand launches. A very cool car and definitely an influence on my love for this model. This will have the usual chassis strengthening required for engineering, plus we want to be able to Tow our vintage caravan and nostalgia dragster with it (as well as hitting the odd drag strip). Thanks for watching 🍻

@@Greyghost_138 Yup Sam Rhodes and his Mrs drove a yellow Charger - Cassie I think….. His dad was my mum’s younger brother And that EK Holden belonged to my uncle - my mums oldest brother - and Sam bought it out of the shearing shed on the farm in Narrogin in the late 1980s for a couple hundred bucks and it only had a tickle of rust in 1/4 panel I think he now for many years has a spray painting business called Vulcan panel and paint and he’s done very well out of it. Good on him

💥👍🙌

Mate just found your chanel. I've just completed a full LS1 build on my EK wagon here in Victoria. Just up to final engineering. Exactly the same colour as your green one. Can't wait to see how you go. Sing out if there's anything I can help with. Well done mate 🙏
