Thread: Hi Guys,,, newbe here

Tweet

Welcome to the site. Ditto on the awesome Thames project. Keep us posted--we love photos.

Well like I mentioned in the last post,, I had to move the front frame rails in 2" on each side because the fenders hit the tires,,, so I cut the rails off just behind the top A-Arm mounts, and boxed them in and now I am making some 3 /16 thick boxing plates to reinforce the rails,, got the sides done ,, still have to make the top and bottom plates,,,

Also made a gadget to help me figure out the back spacing for the rear wheels, and to determine if these monster tires a will rub anywhere,, I am trying to keep from having to widen the fender wells, if possable,, but it looks like these 15 " wides Mickys are gonna work


I GOTTA DOWN SIZE THESE PICTURES<<<<<<< SORRY FELLAS

A little catchup here.. getting things mocked up some,,
ggot the frame welded up. changed the rear tires over to the 10" sprint wheels I had.. kinda makes them buldge out on the sides. and not the right backset,, so I guess ordering new wheels is next,, [ i don't like the sprints anyway,,

Looking very nice Bad Rat...

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

Well its been a while since I dropped by,, been pretty busy this summer,
but I did get a bit more done on the Anglia,, just not a much as I would have liked,, That startup date is way out the window,,

But heres a few shots of what I have done''
I am trying to resize the Pictures,, so this is a test

didn't get them much better, .. here are some more

I finally got around to making that scoop that showed before as a mockup,, not quite done with it yet.. someday maybe

had to mount the Alt on the pass side and backwards because of clearance problems,, still have some work to do to that mount,, had to go with a Elec w/pump because the blower belt hit the mech. one A big can of worms ,, pickin em off one at a time tho

BR - really looking good (that is for someone that did "other things" all summer)

OK pictures - don't know what software you are using, but if I'm not using Photobucket, I resize my pictures with Photoshop Elements to 500 pixels wide, and then let the height take care of itself.

The car is really coming along nice! Heck, there's no time limit on a project anyway!!!!

If you have one oversized picture on the thread page it will stack all smaller pictures side by side to fill the space of the wider picture above. Resizing will not work until you go back and resize the ones above, too.
