I was sitting around last night after shutting off the computer and I realized that I forgot to bring in the parts in my trunk that I picked up at the chrome plater in Hartford yesterday.

This about completes the needed parts for assembly next week.
 
Looks GREAT Paul! Really coming along. Hope I'll be able to see it when I come up in September.

CHROME......... My favorite color......Very Nice !!!! :thumbsup:

You are going to need shades when you lift that hood in the sunshine.......
 
WOW!

That is awesome Paul!

I can't believe how cool that front cover looks. You need to make a plexiglass hood for your car to show off all that beauty!

Congratulations!

Matt
 
Awful pretty. What did all of that set you back?
 
Lovely, Paul.

I wondered what the glow in the night sky over Pawtucket was last night....could see it all the way from South County!
 
Plexiglass hood.....that would be cool! Was a popular thing for customs and showcars back in the late 60's, early 70's as I recall. And of course Ferrari revived the idea on some of their more recent cars (I think) although I doubt they used Plexiglass!

Wow, and wow again thinking about how you're going to drive it AND keep it clean.
 
Thanks for all of the compliments. With the totally red engine, it should stand out nicely.

Dan, in answer to your question, to do these two pieces was $280.00. It's expensive up here, but in fairness to the plater, that timing cover looked like crap when I dropped it off and it's actually plated on the inside. Not as well as the top, but spotless, nonetheless.

That's the last invoice that I'm going to look at involving this project.
 
Hey, Paul, looks great, cept you missed the thermo
housing. Now it's gonna clash silvers with that
beautiful valve cover.

Gonna have to wear shades, just to time it!
 
I'm gonna strip that and paint it red. I haven't shown you yet, but I have polished stainless steel radiator hoses and heater hoses to set all that red paint off. The flanges on those are chromed so it will look really cool. IMHO, of course, yours may vary.

I was experimenting with chrome paint, just to try it out on the t-stat housing.
 
I see a lot of polishing time in your future......the golf handicap is heading up but your right arm will get Popeye big from keeping it all clean! I can't wait to see it all come together! Are you planning on going to Brits by the Sea in June?

Actually Bob, my Cape Cod Club is having a fairly large group drive down along with the British Motor Cars of NE and probably NE Triumphs. I know that the MG clubs will be there as well.

Have you seen the cover of the latest Moss catalog with the blue TR6 driving along the ocean? That nice gentleman saw my "red head" on my web site and we talked about his engine and mine and he sent me this little red logo for my radiator shroud after I told him that the engine would be all red when I was done.
 
Tinkerman,

Make sure that you let me know the dates that you will be up here in advance. That month is usually hectic for me, but I want to work my schedule around any visitors, especially BCF Forum visitors.

Sounds quite reasonable actually...
Where was this again?
 
Paul, in this case one can honestly say that beauty is more, much more, than skin deep.
