Hello,
I'm Chris and began modifying the body of my 1970 MGB in 1979. Back then I don't think Seibring kits were available so I hand made the flares out of steel with a tubing frame (edge). I have 2 Buick & 2 Oldsmobile 215/218 engines to pick parts from to build an engine with and a T-5 transmission for it. I removed the original engine ready to begin the transformation then got married and moved from Napa CA to Hermiston OR and the car ended up sitting at my parents house for 20 years. Now divorced, and retired early due to a disability I'm moving back to Napa and am going to pick back up working on the car. I'm glad to see that so many people have posted engineering suggestions for the modification I dreamed of and with the amount of information now available it'll finishing the car will be much easier.
If there were a way to post pictures to this forum I'd include a picture of it, which is kind of rough from some minor wrecks from sliding out while road racing.
