Being an ex-panel beater, this car would have taken an enormous time effort and money. this car is supercallafreakin awesome. the sheer man hours , the idea, the vision it comes from a beautiful mind. i had the utmost pleasure to have seen this remarkable 'one of a kind' automoblie in person, the interior is amazing the two tone HoK just syeals your attetion. when your driving i wont be due to staring at your car and probbaly running into a tree.

fantastic vision.
great work

Well your comments have certainly given me a boost with ideas and plans I have been implementing over the last 18 months. The development of the custom Ford parts has been a very expensive exercise. Starting in September I will have a range of 7 custom bonnets and 2 front bars. This has taken us 3 years of R&D -

I started out to make myself a one-off bonnet because there was no after-market custom products available for the Ford - many clone copies but nothing really original or different.

I am retired and not in it for the money - what money we have made out of the venture had gone back into the development of custom products for the BA/BF range of Fords - to be quite honest, it really is a hobby, a past time that has allowed me to at least do something with my spare hours.

Of course they are not to everyone's taste but every new owner of one of my products have had nothing but praise for the quality and build and as you know by having seen my Super Pursuit, seeing it in person is a hell of a lot different than seeing it in an image.

The HOK paint job certainly draws attention - Andrew, from AA Panel Craft in Bowral who painted the ute is one of Australia's top Custom Painters. Rides he has painted this year took out Top Custom Paint at Summernats and MotorEx 2008 - the cars also took over 22 top trophies.

Mark, from Black Needle Auto Upholstery has also had a chance to bring his dreams into reality by working on my ute - we have a lot of talent here in Australia but due to limited demand for top custom jobs, they cannot put their talents to the test - unlike the US where high paid sports personalities and the like walk into a custom detailer, etc., and order anything with money not being a concern.

James.
I saw the car in the flesh the other week, and i have to say- it is sooo much better than the awesome pictures you put up.
I ALMOST BUMPED INTO YOU AS I WAS WALKING AND NOT WATCHING WHERE I WAS GOING!
lol
You must get that all the time!

Hi Festymick - you should have come over and had a chat - could have shown you some of the hidden stuff that makes it all different.

Thanks for your comments.

That would be very cool- and i might just hold you up to that one!

Thing is, i look up to guys like you and i feel somewhat intimidated by it..

I am slowly adjusting, but i still feel out of place to chat with someone of incredible standards.

Dont get me wrong, full marks for effort and individualism, seeing as it is a show car then id say thats what you were going for. I just cant see this being a big hit if it goes into production

Could never see Ford using any part of the design in their cars - is is a pity though that they do not make some of their top range FPV models look more aggressive - some design concept that makes it a real standout from the normal models. I have had some good comments from FPV engineers saying that they wish FPV would be a bit more adventurous in their designs.
