 The car arrived as a complete but older build. We stripped the front end, blasted it, repainted and refitted it, taking the opportunity to change the alignment slightly adding another 2 degrees KPI and remaking the control links. The body was delivered “raw” and we re-profiled it in several areas, built a tubular sub frame, bonded it in and mounted it to the chassis. We cut a roof access and bonded a further tubular frame around it. A fire wall was made and bonded in along with several aluminium trims and a parachute mount. The car was rewired as needed and a new exhaust built before the car was sent for paint.

This little rascal started with the purchase of a 1960 Nash Metropolitan shell. Envisioned as a joint project with Scot of Tiki Munki and Moving Hot Rods fame, it progressed until lack of time and storage space forced us to move it on to a new home. A complete new chassis was constructed from 3x2 RHS with tapering sections front and rear and outriggers in 2x2, all to comply with the thencurrent Gasser Circus rules. Engine is a Rover V8 mated to a GM Powerglide auto transmission, this in turn feeding a modified and narrowed Sherpa axle. Rear suspension is by coil springs, tubular shocks and ladder bars and a panhard rod for lateral location. The front end is set up using a Ford Pop beam on aftermarket spring with wishbone locators and tubular shocks. Steering is through a Reliant box with appropriate fabricated links. We progressed to the stage of body mounting before offering it for sale. Detailed photographs in gallery under Gasser
