I wish that I was done and driving it! I still wasn't feeling well on Sunday so I stayed home on the couch. I did make it to the shop yesterday and glassed the exterior of the body. I still have to work on the inside radius from the sides to the rear of the body. I'm going to let the body cure for a couple of days then trim the glass, remove the body, turn it over and finish glassing the edges and inside surfaces.
My son wants to build one of these so I purchased more steel today to build another frame. I was going to finish the body and use it as mine. Now that my son wants one I guess that I'll pull a mold from it. With Knee Replacement on the 14th work will be coming to an end soon. It won't get done until summer.
This will not come as a surprise. I'm changing a couple of things for this build. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to ditch the headers and go with a Lakester header. I'll probably purchase a precut kit and then weld it up so that I make sure they clear the body and match the angle of the body/frame.
I'm going to go with a 4l60E transmission. I'll use a paddle shifter that is attached to the steering wheel. The wheel is on a quick release hub so that I'll be able to remove the wheel with shifter when the car is unattended.
Joe. let me know your shipping info and I'll forward the MG pedal assembly. I'll cover the shipping cost.
Here is a picture of the glassed body. The difference in color is due to using polyester resin from 2 different suppliers. When the glass work is done then the sanding and filler skim coat and more sanding comes.
