LOL thanks Fly........... not so sure about the Master bit.... cheap....... definitely.
 
Ive made all the weatherstripping from a European car, and no they dont leak !!

Its just all the small things, nuts and bolts etc, we use a different thread here..... it just makes more work for me.
Im building it up though......... just dodging the rain and of course great music helps.

Thanks Rick, i appreciate that.......... as for the Benny Hill theme, im sorry about that, just try and think about the scantilly clad ladies chasing him about.

Jeff, i know its a mess, but you " gotta break a few eggs to make a nice cake, better than an omlette ".

You dont want to know !! LOL > lets just say that financially the car owes me less than $1250 usd and that includes all parts and materials so far.
I bought a donor car, parted it, used what i needed to get this one further along.

In an ideal world, a bored 455, or you may hate it, but a 572 BBC, i have a very unhealthy obsession with speed and power...... but the days of care free cash have passed and now as a family man, i can no longer be selfish.


Its a SBC, its been played with, plus its easy to get parts for here, it came from a 2nd gen Z28 which i know has seen some 1/4 mile action.  So there you are.....
