Beautiful job man! I know this has been posted for a while but I just got around to reading all eight pages. Great work! I just did the same thing only in reverse, I rebuilt a '63 Triumph Herald for my wife and she loves it. You can see a quick video of the process on my Youtube channel.

Put the front end back together.

Tweaked the timing etc & then polished it up & took it to our local Classic car night.

The big speaker allows me to blast 50s Rock n Roll loud without the need to burst my ear drums inside the car.

If you put your town and state in your signature

help might be closer than you think.

Can tell by the big smile it's tunning.... great feeling. Got to ask why the radio speaker up front?  Gerry

Late yesterday I modified my air filter.
I bought the 'correct original' off eBay recently. Sadly its for the big block 430ci engines.
So I cut about the horrible 80's Mustang (I think) filter that my car came with, fibreglassed up the
unnecessary vacuum Pipe holes, and made it look similar to the 'correct' one.

Started fitting up more of the front end trim.

Had to add a bracket to the battery tray. The original had long rotted away.
Since fire up was looming, I needed a strong tray to carry the battery.

In went the radiator.

Hooked up jumpleads to my Victor 2300 running at high revs.

There are no words.

Close strangers! I spent a tour near Harrogate at a place called Menwith Hill or the 13th USASA field station. Next door to a British Navy base called Pennypot (?). Rum ration at their club was a great day! Of course that was back before Leeds United suffered the plane crash. Chuck in NH

Paul! You need to make plans to come to Columbus for the Y-Block nationals next year. You will have a great time. Plus with the current US money trouble you could probably come on the cheap.

Y's guys rule!

As a former USAF aviator, I got to spend a good deal of time in the U.K.  There is a little pub/hotel right outside of RAF Mildenhall called the "Bird in Hand."  It's one of my 5 most favorite places in the world!
