Ford Thames panel van

[Limeyglue]

Here is my newest WIP. Revell Thames panel van with the chassis cleaned up of the old gasser suspension and then braced up. The rear axle is from a 32 Ford which has been narrowed. The front is a IFS from Motobitz. The wheels and tyres are from the parts box with the rears using the 32 backs. Still got to finish off the rear suspension and then start the engine mounts for the small block Ford I'm using 

Thanks for looking Lee

This'll be cool. Are you keeping the flip nose?

I really like the stance on this...but I'd probably widen those rear fenders just a tad so the tires wouldn't get cut when she hits a bump...but that's just weird old me.

Anyway...she looks GREAT lowered and with that just-right amount of rake.

IFS, what witchcraft is this? ?  Looks good, the stance reminds me of Mr Torquer.

No I'm going to open the hood.

The front suspension is grom Motobitz here in UK. I thought it looked like Mt Torque when I first sat it on its wheels!

Sweet looking ride so far.

Looks really nice off the start!

Oh yeah, I really like this!

Small update 

Got the rear suspension all in along with the engine and gearbox mounts. On to making a fuel tank and prop shaft and then sort the front brakes.

That is quite a nice resurrection on a flimsy kit chassis. I have a couple of pie wagon kits I should start gathering parts for. I also have a couple of Anglia (Skipper's Critter) kits, one I built in 1970 and I still have the OG box.

If you want to go with disc brakes, I have used the Wilwood discs from VCG Resins, (3D printed). I'm using a set on a NASCAR modified coupe I'm working on.
