We now have a new bodyshell!

Here's the original info: https://www.mgexperience.net/phorum/read.php?42,890667

Haven't kept up with it, Rick...was the old shell too far gone? Or is Jim experimenting?

Tony, the originial shell had a lot of rust damage and although it was repairable we decided at this year's British V8 meet that it would be cheaper to find a better shell than to repair the shell we had. As it's working out we've been able to sell off a lot of the unneeded parts and recover a lot of our costs. If anyone needs a rusty BGT set up for a large block Buick, we can make you a deal! ;-)

Only if I were crazy enough to attempt to convert an open vehicle to closed.

No, I'm only crazy enough to want to stuff my ex-Olds 215 w/2 speed powerglide into my '56 A. Send help - or a straitjacket.

No straight jacket for you, there are crazier guys out here that need it worse than you do. How about an inline 4.0 six in an MGA? Common, get those straps tighter!!
