Ummm.. The tilt 'glass front-end? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

Don't be upset, Patrick. I'm only bustin' yer chops 'cause you're a likeable fella! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Love ya Doc, she is my winch /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Heeheehee
 
I like what I see. boy have I got a long way to go.
 
Me too, Jack. Interior is still nekkid, front suspension needs attention (can you say "rebuild?"), battery boxes need work... All the piddly details. The most time-consuming stuff now.
 
Oh I forgot, I am supose to be critical of this. Hehe. Ok then.

Blanking plate for RH pedal box should be black and I hope I am not looking at black shocks, ala natural pls.

Is that pedal box blanking plate upside down, oh me. Yep, just checked it is up side down.
 
Thanks Jack & Doc!

Shocks are nakid except the arms and bolts (to Jack's last critique). I will redo the right blanking plate black.

What is upside down, please explain Jack?
 
The right blanking plate is up side down, turn it over. The bolts are also supose to be cad plated not painted.

I really hate to be pickie, but you asked.

Jack
 
I've got so much "non-standard" on the B it's silly. Not too concerned though, it's meant to be driven 'til the wheels fall off... Not goin' to "show" it so I don't care. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
Hehe, Pat and I have a bit of a contest going.
 
A fellow, I forgot his name, became pretty famous a few Years ago stuffing a v8 into a
Sunbeam and then doing the same with an AC Bristol. Should he have stayed with stock. Seriously, mods are only making the car yours. With everything available to the modern cars we would all be folish to keep ours stock and origonal. At least, thats how I'm justifing the supercharger (yehaw).
 
Sorry Jack no plating machine, I will turn it over when I paint it.

Thanks, and you no that there is no match for Agatha, although I will take ya in the 1/4 mile hehehe.
