Kruzn Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Something different! Entex 1959 Triumph TR3 body on Revell Thames Panel gasser chassis. No mods to the chassis, but the body is requiring some massaging to get it to fit correctly. I kept the Olds engine from the Thames, but swapped the fuel injection for a tunnel ram. Tilt front end coming up next... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 That is differently different for a Gasser but I'm diggin it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reegs Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Back in the '60s that would run in /MSP (Modified Sports). I forget when the NHRA merged the class in with the Gassers. Can't wait to see how it comes out. Edited April 28 by Reegs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moparman18064 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Really cool concept and build. In real life, that would be a real handful to drive. I am following along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruzn Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Front end cut off. Now to build new firewall and make a hinge for the tilt.... Also switched the front wheels to wires as a tribute to it's British sports car heritage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anglia worked out great for this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruzn Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Slow progress, too many other things going on. I did manage to complete the custom firewall and the hinge for the tilt front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customline Posted Saturday at 03:48 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:48 PM This is very cool, Dave. I don't imagine there was a whole lot of this sort of cars back in the day but anyone who had the guts.... Here's a photo of one such car that was seen running at New England area strips in the '60s. I found it while looking for other stuff. I remember seeing this car one day while picking up parts at Norwood Motors. It blew my mind. It looks like it was classed as BM/SP.
