    That hood scoop is a posterboard mockup of a scoop that I planned on making a few of,, Kinda like the old Don Prudholme scoops ,,,,,,,,,the tape is starting to come loose from setting on the shelf, so thats something else I need to finish.

    I have been shopping for wheels,, I want to run spokes on the front, but those spindle mount 12 spokes are over a grand a pair, so I think I will have to settle for the 10 spoke,, I already have a full set of Baer brakes, and the 12 spokes will only work with Airhart or Willwood brakes,, another 1000 bucks,, Probably go with the American Racing Hopster for the rear,,,,,

    Oh the price of toys these days

    Welcome to the site. From thesize of the last pictures I guess you've figured out the resizing thing. Anglia's are pretty cool panel vans! It will be fun to watch this build thread. Looks like you've got a nice size shop filled with my favorite boxes, Summit!

    Well its been a while since I have done a update on this,, so here goes

    I finally got the chassis and suspension pretty much done, still need to add a couple of X Members, and the body mounts,, and build a sub floor framework to the body to mount all the interior tin to,,

    Got the new wheels in and tires mounted, New Brake setup,, aerospace components kit,, money just seem to fly outta my pockets at this point.. The price of toys these days is outta site,,,,,

    set the real motor and tranny in to figure out where I can mount a brake cylinder, and some pedals,, this thing is getting smaller and smaller,

    anyway heres the progress so far
