Yes, this car is based on an early 1960's Holden.

It's a nice looking custom, looks professional, but was it a home built one off?

The car is a one off.  This is not the only car produced by this builder.

The puzzle car was built by an automotive professional in his own shop.

Was the Australian automotive professional primarily involved with racing cars?

Aaron Bray's Holden FB Nomad. The magazine articles I have found on it are pretty extensive, but none of them mention the specific year of Holden FB it was built on, only that it was an old Holden that Aaron had in his shed. If I remember correctly, the FB Holdens were only made in 1960 & 1961 - so it's one or the other, with a LOT of other bits & pieces mixed in including Ford Fairlane side trim!

Unlocked.  ;)

And the point goes to fyreline.  Aaron Bray has some incredible fabrication skills.
