    Does kinda resemble a vintage MG on steroids.

    Thanks! I was inspired by this pic… I’ll definitely have some numbers on the rad when she’s done. BDDD12AF-7E97-4CC2-A3E0-0BBC6201E6D8.jpeg

    Would love to, but can’t find anything local and shipping is insane now. Not to mention what guys want for a 40 ford hood in decent shape. I’ll have to make what I have work.

    Yes Sir! Wagon is still running strong. The motor and trans I have were going to be for the wagon if it blew on our trip. So the wagon proved itself… so motor is going in the new build. You can see the wagon peeking out in one of the pics. Lol 89AA930C-48D1-4063-AE45-E3C6F51B3875.jpeg

    I wasn’t planning on running a windshield but I did find this one off a T I think. It was in my stash in the barn. Kinda works… undecided are this point. Still doing a lot of standing back and just looking. Also measured up the Rambler motor and looks like it should fit perfectly. 7B91654B-9C77-4F70-AC01-E78A89A9B7EA.jpeg 63E977B3-A441-491E-8C48-FAC4AE7AEFAA.jpeg

    In spite of a particular pony not being in favor here, I think maybe Mark and some of the rest of us might actually get a certain satisfaction seeing the evil sheet metal being forced into service to build something that we like.

  9. Mustang fender begets a rambler powered boat tail speedsters :confused:

    The Automotive Gods are smiling at you my friend . That first sentence should have sounded like this ….

    Vomit , barf and warm diarrhea.


    But in your incarnation it simply fits together and looks great doing it !!

  26. Plus it is low profile ,so it won't distract from the body lines!

  27. Indeed. He called it the Funster. Basically an S-10 pickup bed on I believe a model T frame ( though I think it was set up for a small block v-8 as opposed to a six cylinder)
