Car Crazy 81 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Heres a teaser pic of a Angila that im tinkering with still deciding how im gonna build it i just wanna show everybody the Angila i'll be working on it later on once i get the courage to decide how i wanna build it. Any Suggestions & Ideas that would be appreciated.
JayVee Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I'm starting one of these now as well. I opted for the modern street rod look with mine. How about 2-tone paint job, black for the top half, some lighter color for the bottom half, with big 'n little steel wheels painted to match the bottom half of the car and baby moon hubcaps? The suspension would need to be lowered. I'm going to lower the kit's rear axle and use the front axle from the Revell Deuce coupe to drop the front end.
Foxer Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 That is sweet! I don't know if I could build one of those.. I love the Angila body and it might resist my normal instinct to section it....
Fletch Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 The Anglia is one of my favorite vintage Revell kits. I haven't attempted it yet but, it would be interesting to see how much of the current Revell Willys street rod kit would fin under the Anglia body. You'd have all the lowered suspension, a pretty descent interior tub and a killer power plant. Might be something worth looking at.
sdrodder Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Being a true traditional guy i would suggest some fat whitewalls with steel rims, a kandy paint job prefereably green, a white tuck and roll interior, some fender skirts, and a nailhead thats fuel injected for a power plant, and an axel over spring straight axel up front
Tedly Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I just finished an Anglia for the NNL east. I did mine with an inline chevy 6 with hilborn injection. I used the strut front end from the Matt Hay thunderbird, scratch built rear suspension. two toned House of Kolor sunrise and sunset. Had to "mini tub" it even to get the relatively narrow rear tires under the fenders. Good luck with yours, mine was a fun project, I love Anglias!
Car Crazy 81 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 Heres a mock-up pic what i want the Angila to look like. Im going 60's style on this one the wheels came from a Revell/Monogram RC Cola Wagon kit which is deviated from the Tom Daniel's Beer Wagon.
jjsipes Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 How about this one? I have plans to build one like this.
crazyjim Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Gonna make it a street rod, Rick or a racing machine? I vote street.
Guest arni Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Gonna follow this with interest as most of the pops over here were built with Vauxhall (g.m.) front suspension and either a Ford 2 litre pinto or Rover V8 engine.
charlie8575 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 An Anglia....another car I want to try building stock sometime. Charlie Larkin
