What would you like Chris to build you?

Last time I was down at Chris's place there was a scruffy Ford Ranger parked outside...

That's quite a transformation, it must've taken a helluva lotta work to turn that thirties art-deco streamliner into a pickup.



Love both the streamliner and the fifties Chevy btw. :)

Sssssshhhhhh. Can't a man have any secrets?

I find myself spending a lot of time looking at Land Rover 110 and 130 donors.

How hard is it to lower their suspension?

Scottie has a Jag engine going spare, that should fit I guess.

If I get a body milled in polystyrene can you take a mould from it?

Bloody hell Nick, you can't be serious!

If your other half finds out, you could end up like John Bobbit!
I'd be careful if I was you!

I will paint it black and hopefully she will mistake it for one of the other two black cars

It's as if it's invisible.
Or you could hide it behind the Jacuzzi?

It looks as if she's twigged and is watching you through the curtains

She might have something to say about the young lady in the black dress though.

That's interesting, and not unlike an MX5 with an SWB front. Why not ask Chris for a quote to customise your car. It would be a unique vehicle.


Always really liked the pit crew front end, but they are rare. I might just do what you suggest. Need to wait until the new year though...

Right now, I don't want Cris to build me anything, as I have my hands full at present, however, I bet a lot of people would like him to build a Pitcrew conversion kit for the MX5.

Should not be too much of a problem as apparently Pitcrew are now no longer trading.

Any existing front ends are fetching stupid money as they are so rare.
How about it Chris?

How about some of these Jap concept cars:







This last one has got to be the easiest.

What about a BMW Z3 based California Spyder similar to the one in the "Ferris Beuller Day Off" movie. I´m sure many would like one.

Look what you can get at your local Shell garage, a Lego GTO.

zagmad 6 Dec 2014, 6:38pm
Hi dsg4me. Just wonderd if you could transfer the grill from a Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 on to a Maserati a6g/54 front view. Not sure how it would look and don't have the skills that you do. Thanks if its possible.
DSG4ME 7 Dec 2014, 10:43am
Hi there zagmad. Is this what you are looking for ?



The 2001 Chrysler Sebring has a Ferrari-ish modedrn style grill similar to this one.
zagmad 7 Dec 2014, 11:32am
Hmmm. I think the bonnet needs to be wider so it guides your eye to the width of the grill and er slighty longer towards the headlights. Other than that i think it should work.
zagmad 7 Dec 2014, 2:32pm
How bout a db4 mk1 front view with this grill.
DSG4ME 8 Dec 2014, 12:24pm
It doesn´t look too bad on the Aston but it would look a lot better on an AM DB4 Zagato.
