Just bought a low mileage Rover 4.6 (lucky me) engine from Robert because he's decided to go in SLIGHTLY different direction with his SEMA show project.... custom chassis - Corvette front suspension - Jag rear - LS1 engine AND widened 6" .......Sshhwweet!!

Holy S**t! How cool is that!
Slick looking , I bet it will be a lot of work.
Never thought of a MGB as a show car, Your going to have a lot of rough and tumble rep to dust off it !
Hey! Most of us are considered rebels in the british car community. For whatever reason, Robert seems to think that BV8 probably wouldn't be interested in his UNIQUE show car project - sure hope we can give him a bit of encouragement to post a sticky under project journals.
Oh ! Hey !
It looks pretty and one heck of a lot of work, just never thought of a B as a Glamor Girl.
You Go Guy ! Unique is good !
I started a project journal!
I think it looks great & am looking forward to watching the progress. Are you uplanning for it to have a top? Would be really cool to figure out how to graft a retracting/folding hard top from something like a crossfire or SLK or something similar.
Is it longer as well as wider?
Or is it just because it's low?
Here is our "Speedster" kit more pics on our web site http://preformresources.com/gallery/PREFORM-RESOURCES-B-BODY-KITS

The extra with is going to be with the flaired rear end. The body will retain the stock length. I did not have a need to widen the actual body since I am able to fit my LS-1 between the new frame I installed.
I do have to say that I am a huge fan of Jim Stabe's widened car though and have alot of respect for taking it that far.
@ Dave Craddock - Sent you a PM
Dave, where did you purchase the wide body kit? It's awsome......
Jacques, thanx for the kudos! actually my company Preform Resources,Inc.designed, manufacture and sell that kit ,
we also do the bolt on R V8 hood. the kit was originally done to fit into the SCCA rules, so front and rear fender panels
don't go past the door/rocker panel line.You may have noticed the race car in the pic has the racing front air dam
while the shot of the kit parts has the road car front air dam, check out my web site for more pics of the B kit.

That MG Speedster is one beautiful piece of automotive artwork! Glad to see the project proceeding!
mr.craddock have you ever thought of doing a kit for a spitfire.i'd buy one if you can have it in a years time.
RE: "I started a project journal!"
Impressive designs & a bunch of work already completed -- how long have you been at it and what is your target for completion?
@Rob - The car was started 2 years ago as a project but we ended up with some new vehicles that were required to be done first so this has been my side project.
This year is different I am really making a big push to have it done this year and I will keep you all updated on its progress. We have some really great products on the vehicle and I will be detailing each as they are installed.
Very nice concept drawing.
Speaking of this... It's time for some updates in your project log. What do you say, Robert? How's the progress?
Well something must be happenin, we just sent Rob some rear fenders and valance.
