Thanks for all the compliments chaps!
Bones - I made up templates with some cheap crappy tube then took them to Andy Robinson and he bent them up in the good stuff with his mandrel bending machine, very nice and better than the hydraulic jack and hammer method!

Finally! got the whole lot out of the garage with a little help from 4 of my mates, rented a 7.5 ton truck and got it down to Andy Robinsons!

Will get some more pics once it is all finished[/img]

I think your rear seat pasangers may have trouble getting in and out

Looks nice though.

That looks just the dogs.
Keep going and keep posting the pics.
Are you going to use this on the street,do a liitle hot hatch hunting maybe?
Just a thought do you think that 235's are going to be man enough for all that power going out the back because I think that once that is out you will have a problem staying off the loud pedal.
A new set of rubber every week methinks

Cheers

Nice workbench there! Is that a '70 Charger with a roof chop?

Sweet welds there now, that frame looks a beast.

And I hope they haven't chopped a charger! lol

I think it is a '70 superbird pro mod in the background, it was half nekkid when I went to collect so I could be wrong!
