Ok call me mad or just plain stupid but since i've seen the picture of the old ACME kit advert i'm hooked on the idea of building a Healey Coupe. Not a Nash coupe but a modified BJ8.
I have a 67 BJ8 that's been stripped down and in the process of chassis repair before a repaint and rebuild. The Heritage certificate says Racing Green with black interior so I will stay true to the colors. I have the luxury of a body shop and some really creative bodywork staff. I ran the idea through them and have had suggestions that a porsche 912 roof or MG GTB and rear would be similar to the lines that the ACME ad shows.
Before we cut or build anything I would like the input of the members in this forum. I respect your views and have been a regular reader for tips and advice on previous standard Healey projects.
I can build in steel or aluminium. Any advice or guidance will be given consideration. I intend to post photos of the progress and give feedback to those of you that can help me build this project.
Please be kind even if you think that I'm completely off my rocker.
Regards,
