Very nice project mate, keep us updated....
I used to be right into the rod scene when I was a "teen" lol.... Always fancied something like this, got a few "project" motors available to me at the moment also
One of them is a very rare Austin 8 van, ony 8 in the country apparently, I do remember seeing an Austin 8 car at a show at Knebworth house YEARS back now..
Oh and is John "the doc" Claydon still involved in the scene?? He was just down the road from my school at the time.... and IIRC wasnt it a candy red willy's coupe he built/had??
