I will start buying shares in Hammerite! Looking good.

That's a strange exhaust route though - got any pics from the back?

Excellent job. That'll be satisfying when it's done.

I do think you need to inflate that rear o/s tyre though !! ;-)

Good man, get it done. The chassis looks in not too bad condition but the top rails where it's been modified look a bit spindly, but hey it's been fine for the last 10 years running 300 horses so I'm sure it'll be fine.

I love that car, I seriously thought about buying it. PLEASE keep the supercharger.

Lol it was a bit tight between the rear dolly uprights so dropped the space saver on to errrr save space

Anyone noticed the weird tube arrangement on my chassis

Looking from the front it looks like the sloping down tubes have been cut off and tubes added right on the end of the front horizontal bar.

Would love to see some other engine / chassis pics to compare.

At the pace you work Glen and at £50 a day we can form an orderly queue to your garage doors, you'd have all our cars sorted by Christmas, what ya say?
