    ...Actually a HIGHLY untested, not even fired yet, pretty on paper and in photos '53 Austin Somerset. AND if I don't get busy the only way anyone is going to race it is if I stage the F150 pulling it on the trailer!

    It is one of those over looked Austins (from the Drag Racing World). The Somerset was the next generation of the A40 after the great Dorset and Devin. However it only came in a 4 door package. However unlike the Devin, its front doors were larger leading me to think I could chop the top and loose the rear door and know one would be the wiser. I won't bore this thread with the details but there is a build thread here on the HAMB and a link in my signature below etc.
