HQ Splash and Chicken

[HQ SS]

I posted those pictures up on Fastlane and Oldholden a while ago now, there is a third picture in that series as well.
They were sent to me by a HQ SS owner here in WA.
The pictures were taken at Farm power in Quairading which is rural WA.
It was out and about touring the dealerships at the time.
The other picture and a few others of it and pictures of Ewet, Super Chicken, Water Splash, The HQ El camino etc etc here.

Are you on Facebook Mook, I know there was a couple guys interested in getting a limited run of the decals done....estimate of $600- $800 with min of 4 orders to start doing them. I'll try find the link

Was it me? I have been looking at doing them for a while now =)

Mate, it could've been. Its been a while now since i saw someone wanting to do those decals. I cant find the facebook page they were on. There is that many panel van sites on facebook, its a long process trying to find a needle in a haystack. Do you remember what facebook group/page it was posted??

Honestly no idea!!...... I may know where there is a NOS set for me to borrow to get the sizes from also....

There was a "Grasshopper" design as well as far as I remember, but it's such a distant memory I am not sure if it was on Sandman or Sundowner, I remember seeing one around the late 70s, it was a black, yellow and green (i think) grasshoppe, with legs and body that took up most of the side rear of the van, and its head on the tail edge of the front guards, looked pretty cool, but I havent seen it, or a picture of it even for so so long now. Anyone know of it?

I've just noticed a glimpse of the van on the "60 Years of Holden" DVD (about 7mins in). It doesn't mention which show & It is different to the one I posted earlier (which seemed to be empty) & has different wheels. Here's some screen shots:

It is a different van. The one above is a revamped version of an earlier GMH show van.

were females really that ugly? I don't remember them looking like that.

I think that screen grab makes her look worse than she should. Very 70's hair and getup.

The last two pictures male it look like a peep show to me.
