Old Henrys love child.....

Good choice.

The engine bay has been done.



The chassis rails have been tidied up quite a lot!



I will be fitting the front suspension off a 55 Chevy,it sems in keeping with the age of the car.....LOL

Coming along nicely Nige. Liking the colour choice.

Looks like it is all going to work together just fine. Nice work.

Cheers guys.

Thanks Al for doing that!

The bodywork is coming towards an end,the 4th fender has been fitted and all I need to do is wet sand it PLUS fix the rocker panel on that side LOL



The door stripe has ben filled too,so more sanding there....

   Had to do it again Nige!!!!

Al,tinypic has been messing me around something awful!!!

That's why it's best to post directly from your computer Nige.

Well both sides are the same now,just the back end to tidy up now...

And you cant even tell it was 2 cars, nice one Nigel!

Nice job !   

Got the rocker panel built up,once set it will be bondo time for each end of it.

Had a thought...Why use a can of primr and lob it out complete...So I used the plastic can top (abs or what guys?....) to create the inner frnder wells for the rear,it is a tal and slim 300ml can but I have other sizes in stock.LOL
So it will create the wells without too much trouble and nicely rounded too! Once trimmed to suite they wil be epoxied in place and the flat areas built up with card stock.

Thats a great idea, I have faith that you will pull it off quite nicely!!

  

 

This is comming along nicely Nigel. Well built!

Sometimes plastics can be slippery, so roughing up the smooth with fine sandpaper may help paint adhere, tho not always necessary.
The can top idea is a good one, depending on the size needed. I wondered what to do with 'em, now we have a use besides as a "paint pot" for blending colors!

Chers guys,I will be sure to prep the can surface.

Not got much done lately,not am I recovering from a stroke but.....I have ostio arthritis and by lower back has ben giving me greif!
Imagine someone twisting a bowie knife between your back bones and you get the idea!!   

Anyway I have slapped some bondo on the rocker panel and got the inner wells epoxied in place,they can be trimmmed down afterwards..

Forgot the headlamps today, sorry.

I'll get them off in the post tomorrow  

 

As usual, brilliant work Nigel. Love the wheel tubs. Have to remember that one.

Cheers gents.
Dave,I discovered that they 'fell orf' must rough the plastic up before refiting them!

It's amazing how much work has gone into this build.
I don't think I would have risked chopping up two cars, but it works.
Can't wait to see the finished result.
