So, does anyone know where there might be some electronic (e.g. .jpg, .gif, etc) versions of some 3 or 4 view (front, side, top, back) blueprints of MGBs might be found? Work has me tinkering with 3d modeling programs lately, and I can't think of a better way to learn to use the app than modeling an MGB...

Dear Carroll, Thank you for the wheels. They lead an exciting life on my 1976 MGB, though brief as it was, that made many a wheel envious.

Try some of the older repair manuals and owner's manuals. I've seen some there although they aren't high precision.

Bret had some pretty neat X-rays of his B...I am sure he will be along shortly...perhaps they could be useful, depending on the transfer you get from them.

They were in the Christmas issue of Classic Motorsports magazine, if you want to take a gander.

Here's a link to a site that has some illustrations you might be able to use. Scroll all the way to the bottom to see some drawings...

sweet jeebus that's the jackpot, Rick! The best I could find on the net prior to your post was a 2 view scan of a B on badly browned paper... the 3-view of the 'B that you have on your site is perfection!

Thanks!!!

Nifty site. But if you're at work with 3 other guys behind you, the Calender section does NOT have more of the nifty car pictures. Zip, right through the firewall. I think I broke the back button.

sure... it'll take me a while though, especially since I'm learning how to use the tools and stuff...
