Well it's been awhile. It's taken a lot longer than I anticipated to modify the Griffith body to fit the modified chassis.

Ha ha, that's what I find also when working with fibreglass. Looking good, keep going.

Very nice indeed. Loving the side profile showing the curve on the roof at the rear, looks fantastic.

Wow - looking pretty good.

It must be a tough job - I have spent loads of time on my wildcat wedge .. and thats just making an airbox. Nearly there.

Keep up the good work and progress updates.

Looking great, i take it you have kept the original screen and the widening has been done to the wings, have you also widened the bonnet & boot?
You got a front end shot?

Deffo a Labour of LOVE this one & it shows, keep up the good work.

Only question i have is why did you stick with the rover engine when you were doing so much chassis work, were you not tempted to stick an LS6 in there?

Fantastic looking car and an amazing project, congratulations for all your effort. Have you considered a modified AJP V8 as a drivetrain?

What type of spark plug those wild cat heads use?

Yes i can make more porting..

I love the blog Anthony, what a great resource. I never knew there were so many cars out there running these heads. Interesting reading about the history as well.

Good luck with your build.
