History Cunningham powered Sorrell Manning Special Lives again

Man, that is gorgeous!

 

Indeed it is.

Checkout the front ch***is kick up. Oh so primative but there is no other way on these beautiful cars.

 

Front view of that body looks a lot like a later version OSCA MT4.

 

is that Bob Sorrell the metal shaper? if so I bought a trailer full of his metal shaping tools years ago... and in that stuff was a lot of little brackets,wheel hubs and other stuff maybe for this type of car?

 

Same Bod Sorrell We have a dragster that he built earlier, I would have loved to had the chance to get some of those tools and part out of the collection always a day late and a dollar short. was there any drawings or other items in with the tools.

 

no drawings, but I did buy the back half of a twin engine dragster with motors mounted side by side in the trailer. the sandoval bros. were storing the trailer on their property when Bob died and they had to get it moved because they sold the land.

 

We didn't get the body put on yesterday but still made some head way hopefully we can test fire it this morning and set the body on and finish it up.



Still need to finish fitting the windsheild

 

Just wonderful. Thanx for bringing a great car out of the shadows. Gary

 

the body is on a few things left to do the windsheild needs a trim yet but we are getting closer.

 

man....thats the stuff dreams are made of.....

slippery.....I like slippery....

 

Ab****ely, breathtakingly beautiful, not to mention exquisitely gorgeous and the epitome and very definition of the word 'cool' itself!!! What more can I say!???

Great Finsh up on the Sorrell Manning Special. I love the end product. The start at my shop as a rusty framed potato chipped body to the streamliner looking blue wonder is fantastic. Tell Jake and the guys great job.

Thanks

Here is a picture of a Sorrell coupe that I nabed from another thread:

 

Well the car is now part of the Fibergl*** fantisities display in LA. They have a great collection of 1940's to modern gl*** bodied cars on display. well worth the money
