Fenders

snuffy's Rod Shop part 5

Kevin (Snuffy) Smith is an artist to say the least. 3 coats of color and 5 coats of clear. Just a few more days to hang the fenders, bonnet, boot and polish. I feel like a kid at Christmas.

Joann and I picked the frame up this past weekend and I took a couple additional pictures of the body. Kevin will be painting it within the next week.

I have been putting the final touches on some things that are alot easier to reach with the body off. Carbs, Fan, Spin on oil filter adapter, Distributor, Coil and Generator.

Kevin called and said to stop by and take a few pictures of the car. They are block sanding it now and as you can see in the Pictures she was a wrinkled old British Lady!

Snuffys Rod Shop Part 3

I dropped of some door hardware off to Kevin this morning and snapped some more pictures. He wants to mount it to the frame one more time to double check the alignment. After that we will pick up the frame to finish some hard to reach items.

Barry and I knew the car had been hit and repaired on the nose but check out the last picture....it's really wrinkled. Kevin will weld in new sections on the top panel. The rear had been hit in several places as well but it's hard to see in the photos. I would really like to know more of the history on this thing. Im sure now that it was raced due to the damage and roll bar welds.

I stopped by this morning with new front and rear fender hardware, piping, grille and miscellaneous hardware. Kevin had the nose replacement, inner and outer sills welded in.

This morning Joann and I took the MGA to Snuffy's Rod Shop in Centerville ,TN. We should have it back fully painted and assembled in 2 months or so. Kevin Smith (Snuffy) is doing a Rostisserie body restoration and paint job. He will use POR 15 on the underside and wheel wells for added rust protection. The color will be Viper Red.

Spring time

Complete rolling chassis. I splurged a little and put her on some new 60 spoke chrome wheels.

November already????

Well not a lot of progress, so I thought some fresh pictures would be nice. A little powder coating, floor boards stained and varnished ready to install. Fuel pump and gas tank installed. The distributor rebuilt with a positive ground pertronix installed.

Oh almost forgot to mention that the rear springs were reversed end for end so once that was changed the gas tank, and drive shaft fit perfectly! DUHHHHHH.
