WOW..... Subscribed!

NICE!!

Love those European sports cars, and taking them to the next level with modern chassis engineering and a healthy V8.

Keep the photos coming!!!

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Have you been following Ron Sutton's threads on suspension design in the Chassis/Suspension section? Lesson learned for me -- if I were starting from scratch, I would design my supension/tire combo first. If you go a modern high-travel, low roll set-up, it will certainly drive all of your tire clearance considerations. Then I would figure out what the flare and inside fender-well shapes would have to look like to clear the suspension travel/tire combo. Finally, I would pick the flares that gave me at least minimum clearance. I would not want to be caught having to limit my suspension options because of fender clearance issues. I am still cutting up an "almost finished" car to make room for improved technology suspension design. Love your project -- good luck.

Pappy

yes u r right thats how i start wheels i like , wheel track i want , suspension design to optimise what i want the car to do then body work to cover it up , thats the plan atleast for now..

This one is a pretty cool old school build.

I can't believe I just now saw this. I have a '64.5 MGB Roadster sitting in pieces in the garage. There's something about old British cars that I just love.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Personally, I am going to do a turbo 4 cylinder in mine, but how can you resist a v8? Love it.

Ok quick update I have been gathering parts for the build and finishing up some other projects..I just ordered my Sebring flare kit from Preform Resources . Dave the owner is a great guy, and worked with me on some ideas i had... here is a pic of the kit installed on another MGB GT....
