MGB Too late to turn back now. 67 MGB

Its outside and washed! I will be painting the seat frames today and then waiting for the 1-3 inches of white stuff thats supposed to fall tonight. This should be a good weekend. On Jan.1 the Metrolina MG car club had the Polar bear run- eat at Big Bobs BBQ then a ride thru the country to our house for ice cream and hot chocolate. In January the club had its annual Chili ride. Go for a ride and end up at a club members house for home made chili. This weekend we are having our annual Pie run. We meet at a location and ride for 30 miles to a members house where every car brings a desert. Now thats a good event! If you don't leave feeling sick then you did not try hard enough. Back at it again on tuesday! Have a safe holiday weekend. Bob

As always, nice looking work.
 
Bob,

You're the Man! I wish I could accomplish a
1/3 of what you do.I don't know how you do it.

Here are some up to date shots. The seats are supposed to be ready on Monday and the chrome wires are on and the top is installed. I ran it down the road and the trans is working great. Doc was pretty close when he said that spring comes around mid February in Monroe! Bob

fantastic!
 
Excellent job, Bob. And you are right about chrome wires - they look wonderful.

<waits til there is NO ONE around>

Ok, Bob, it's just you and me here, I made sure no one else is looking - you can tell me how you do it, the secret will be safe with me! You have a Way-Back-Machine don't you? Or did you get yourself cloned? Either way you can tell me and I promise not to tell a soul! :laugh:
 
I wanted to say something bad but can't 'cause I'm too frustrated. :smile: As always, nice work.
 
All I'm going to say is this -- if I ever decide to buy a MGB, I'm going to ship it to Bob first.

Fantastic work.
 
SWEET! I like the twin exhaust too! Nice job, Bob. Maybe if I ever finish up getting my kart ready for CMP, I'd be able to turn a few wrenches on TANGARAY.

Marmitte ANSA. "The muffler Ferrari fits!"

They do look the same.
 
Here are some outside pics. I have a few items to look at before calling it done. The horn button,shorten the seat belts on one side, throttle a bit stiff, oil change soon, then drive it! I hope y'all enjoyed watching the process. Bob
