Thread: 1940 Vauxhall hot rod build

I widened both the red and the purple car gaurds, the purple car in the pics above uses a centura diff, the rear wheels were 15x10 dragways with a 5" back space, they were originally off an XB Coupe, the gaurds were only widened by 2" the red car used a HR Diff and they were widened abot the same.
I have moved my battery to the trunk, but there would have bee enougth room to fit a smaller battery in the original position.
there are lits of different ideas out there, and i seem to find lots of ideas on forums like this one.
looking forward to checking out your build thred, and hopfully updating my own soon as well.

This is my pedal box, bought from ebay.

just a heads up for you.
the front doors have a habbit of opening all by themselves when you are driving along, it all happens in a split second and your reflexes tell you to grab at the door, you will find yourself hanging out of the car as it all happens so quickley, be sure to change your front door locks, or fit some kind of system to secure the doors closed to prevent them from opening whilst driving.
I had a couple of bad experiances whith my drivers door comming open.
the end results are damage to the rear fender and front door, also bending the door pillar, it may never happen to you, but if you plan now and fit something now while you are starting your build, it could save you the pain of having to do these same type of repairs later.
