Here's a little Prefect I did. For those that don't know, a Prefect is an Anglia sedan (4 doors). The most famous of the Prefect Gassers was campaigned by Ohio George, "Hurst's Gasser Passer". Anyway, here's my take on a 60's style gasser.




Body: HW Anglia panel.
Chassis: HW Morris Minor.
Interior: HW Morris Minor.
Engine: HW Way2Fast
Wheels: JL w/ MB Rubber on rear.
I'm not 100% happy yet, may do some parts over.
Regards
Alex

Alex,

i never managed to cross that bridge into "scale rodding".

and am always impressed how kits/parts can be mixed/matched to make something that looks exactly like it should be.

nice one.

Cheers

Christ you must be a man with patience Alex, Im totaly amazed at what you acheive with such tiny cars.

When Hadfeild had that sign made up for his wall I wonder if he had these in mind.

The man with the most cars/toys wins.

Did you see that EK model on ebay ? I won it ,and its about the only toy Ive ever bought that I was just going to pay whatever it cost - the type of ebayer that every seller loves hehe.

A mate reckons these have metal wheels and bars Youd be more clued in than me ?
And how do ya reckon youd go replicating my Ute ?

Hey Harko.
That is a cool model. Reports say that the shape is not 100% exact, but cool all the same. The scale is a bit big for my tastes, I have been working in 1/64 scale like the Prefect above.
As a matter of interest, I have pulled the prefect apart to alter the chassis. I want the side pipes to be a bit shorter. (knowing me it may never go back together Cheesy)
Always working on something.....just drilled a GTO apart to try something different. I will post pics when gone. Gotta finish a T model that has me bogged down first.
Regards
Alex
