Start............. Had the new chassis legs profiled and then tigged them all together. New rear chassis legs in situ. Im banding the rear arches as I want to keep the curved arch look in the rear. Why I hear you ask well just because I can DC

So rear chassis legs in Tubs in and a coat of primer Next was build it all up and check that it was looking OK stance wise. Just checking that the proportions will be OK and it wont look Pro Street. I don't want it to look like a race car ................ Finally I have got my head round the front suspension. I bought this ages ago and have tried various options with regards to fitting. Well I have it sorted in this old head. So a yet another strip down of the rear end for a bit of fine tuning. Then its Bear Claws propshaft loop then start on the front..............easy!!

I feel sure it is. Sometimes you just have to trust someone and Andy seemed like the man.
Have not spoke to Him, just left it with him to look at and decide what it needs.

Well evening everyone. Its been a while but life as been throwing me some curved balls of late. I have dealt with them, the E Type is ready to go away for the winter so the focus is back on the Pop.
Although the PoP as moved on build wise it doesn't look much different. But it as progressed and I will update the pics this weekend.
I considered a few options to do the work chassis and IFS wise, Nobody, Wisbech, Langy before I opted for Andy at 351 and I can only say what a choice.
His work is second to none, We share the same vision and he listens to what I ask. He may do it his way but that usually turns out to be the right way. We/Andy narrowed and fitted the front cross member, fitted all the front end and set it all up. It looked great BUT I thought it needed to be 1/2 inch narrower each side. Not a word he just agreed and did it.......the customer is always right.

Prop loop and rear cross member.
The engine mounted in situ. MK1 engine mounting and just checking where everything will fit or not if that be ths case.
One thing I need in this car is legroom and a comfortable driving position.
We all have pics that give us inspiration and cars We model our goals on. This is one of them
