Thread: Pictures of the Thames Rebuild .... Slowly getting there

Tweet

here's the 327 coming out



after media blasting .... preparing for sealer



horrible "brazed" on roof filler removed



after many attempts (we discovered that the body had been welded to the floor and chassis) the body is finally lifted off the chassis



finally seperated .......... the only things on the rolling frame which will be retained are the tires and wheels, and the wheelie bars ............. the rest will be scrapped and replaced by a full rolling chassis from Fatman Fabrications

I would check with Dean Kirsten at Anglia Obsolete. He seems to be able to find most any part for the English Fords.

His contact information is:

phone 760-630-3136
fax 760-630-2953
e-mail dean@angliaobsolete.com

He's in Vista, California

That picture of the engine being pulled reminds me of the old saying "10 pounds of something in a 5 pound bag." It's amazing a big V8 even goes into these little cars.

I love these and Anglias, too. Sounds like you are doing it right with the new frame and all. Very nice car.

Sure is looking good!!!! Some real quality work going into the buildup!!! Congrats on a very well done job!
