What's the source of your parts? I've never seen a 1/8 Anglia kit before.

It's not a kit.

The body is a resin copy by Bob Hayes from a George Zurowski master.

Resin Keith Black Hemi engine from now defunct "Big Scale Dreams"

Everything else is scratch built or parts box.

Check the build pics in the link in the first post.

I love the 1:1 drum brake hardware for rear suspension parts! SHEER GENIUS!!!

This makes me want to do large scale too. If I only had enough room!

I was looking at some of my old posts and realised I never put finished pics in this one so here they are.

One of the best 1:8 scale models I have ever seen, outstanding work!

Did you shorten the body to fit a particular chassis or is that how you got the body?

That's how I got the body Casey. I scratch built the frame to fit.

Anglias are tiny cars in real life with only a 90 inch wheel base and 152 overall.

Yes, they are very small cars. I had two of the Revell bodies in my collection for a few years and was planning to build a fenderless street version, but the odd proportions of the above model caught my eye. I wasn't sure if that was done intentionally on the model or not.
