You ****!!!!!
Ever since i saw E-Rodz video clip of his buddy's car that was widened, I would love to have one. His buddy doesn't have the engine yours does though. I aam so frickin' jealous at the moment
So what's the plan for the paint scheme, or do we have to wait to be surprised?
I love it!!!!!

Wow Jim!! You made a bunch of progress on that beast. It's looking darn nice.
That exhaust you built sounds soo sweet.
A few of us were wondering where you were. Nice to see you back. I hope your Missus is doing better.

This is awesome Jim. You do great work, and it is really impressive what you have put into this little car while still keeping it recognizable. I drove a 70 MGB through most of college. Not the most practical car in western OR, but I had a lot of fun in it.
ARAMP,
There are 3 links in his signature to the build.

Glad to see yourself and your project doing Well! Love me some MGB's.
I've also got to give my thanks regarding the windshield. I ordered the 40 grit bit from C. R. Laurence and I cut my windshield a couple days ago and it went just the way you described.
Again.....Thanks

Could you link us up to that process?
I think I've seen this build somewhere else?
Glad it worked out for you. I have to do it over again since I developed a crack in the first one. Noe a fault of the process, my frame was putting stress on one corner of the glass.
Jim, you've come a long way since I was out to visit!
Yep. 90% done, 90% to go
I noticed that I didn't include the link to the latest part in the build log so here it is http://forum.britishv8.org/read.php?13,40751
Zeke. The glass cutting process is in the last half of part 2 and the beginning of part 3 in the links in my signature.
