Holy shit. This is incredible.

Love the work in the floors, the maltese crosses on the fan shrouds are nice touch too.

thanks guys,

bit more done, been on with the pedal box. could not just go out and buy one so designed my own. had all the parts lazor cut at work and tacked it together.

and then bolted it in place


also mocked up the pedals , will have these lazor cut once im happy with the fit.


all the brake pipe and fittings are now ordered , hoping to have the engine running by the end of the week. more soon

Video works for me!

Just seen this thread for the 1st time, love the work gone into it. I'm doing a custom chassis inside of a vauxhall nova chassis so it was interesting to see how somebody else has gone about the similar task.

Awesome work!
