BODYWORK
The bodyshell started life as a fibreglass pop saloon shell , which I cut up and fibreglassed back together to form the cab . As this was originally built as a street car with no intention of racing, it is rather heavy . The front end on the other hand I built very light for the race car, from my own mould , which I made from a front I had previously modified. The pick-up bed is made from alluminium with steel support .The rear arches are much widened Ford model A
