Another view of the Ford Radiant RED

...a shot of the boot and the new shock towers

...a shot of the anti-tramp bars



still got to cut the bolt ends off a bit

....now we're smokin' (or not, as it's the new fuel tank). With 350 cu. ins. and a lead foot the new tank just had to be bigger than the old one. With 100-120 miles between fills I might as well have a motorcycle



...baffled and sumped for the future addition of throttle body EFI.... woo-hoo

....now this I like. 1954 car needs 'parking' brake but it doesn't need a handbrake so an electronic line lock on the back brakes does the job. Cushty

...if you're a bird then this is your eye's view of the build to date....

red is such a sexy colour

... keep watching mate more RED coming soon!

certainly looks the biz mate,
can't wait to see her in the flesh again,
this year????????

Kev is that your 66 vette in the first pic too? You're clearly a man with great taste in cars!

Sorry Hairbear I don't have such good taste....yet. The 'Vette was another car at the garage where the Healey came from, Kar Kraft of Gilford, New Hampshire.

As you can see they still have a picture of my car on their site. Amazingly it shows the side that doesn't have the paint flaws.

Never mind I just called it 'patina'

Nice to see all the pictures up. Don't quiet do the colour justice though it truely is amazing.

....the Ebay Compomotive ML's scrubbed up well but then they had to! The previous silver 'powder coating' came off in sheets

...rest of the bodywork on at last

....ooooooh the cleanest chassis in Sarf Daaarset. At least until it gets on the road
