Projects First Project.

Hi, my dad just bought this body shell last night for a project for me an him to work on. Its an austin 7 ruby.
We plan on giving it a fairly sized roof chop and channeling and have got a great idea for the running gear. (I'm keeping that a secret! I dont want anyone copyin' our idea!)

I once read in a magazine, 'A Hot Rod ain't a Hot rod unless it imbarresses ya mom and annoys the neibourghs.' we plan to do both of these.
Wish us luck!
Tim

Pics,we need pics!

 

We just gottit today so I will upload some picture tomorrow

 

Here ya go then!

 

Tim, NICE start, Man! Sounds like it's gonna look pretty evil once it's done too!

Nick.

 

big slicks in the rear? looks like they'd go good on it.

 

Nice Ruby!!

All the best with your top secret plans lad!

{I hope they don't involve Pug 505 Diesels?? }

 

No they won't involve a diesel!
Thanks!

 

Yep!
Pie crust whitewalls hopefully!

 

Hope so!

 

I love chopped cars, but personally, I don't think I'd chop that one.
Have fun

 

Brit cars are so cool. They make such great looking rods.
I've always lourved Thames Panels like the old Revell Model. Any kind of Morris or Austin.
Have fun with it.

 

I would put a box inside the body for seat and see where you are to the roof before you start to plan chops.

I had a nice chopped Model Y but I was too tall for it. Didn't chop this one since I need the head room.

 

That one cool looking little car. I would chop it. Keep us posted.

 

Chopped and channelled?? You´ll have to run along behind it, `cause there sure won´t be any room left inside!

 

A little OT, but if thats your house in the background, it sure is******in!!!

 

Thanks everyone for your kind and helpful words, I'm sorry I can't reply to all of you, but it would just take to long!

 

It's just me but I'd leave it the way it is and make it a 60's gasser. but nice start and good luck!
