We have been talking to Ken Murrey for a few weeks now,he bought Wayne Nicholson's old BORN to RUN Pop,from a "builder"who wanted £X to finish it for him,sadly what you see here is all he ended up with,and a good bit lighter in his back pocket !,it does have a 454,th400,but we'll need a mountain of stuff so PM me if you have owt to help this project move forward.We will put a list up in the wanted section aswell,Now its time to get cracking ,body is going to the blasters,the chassis looks like it's been done fairly recently so were hoping it'll just need a better coat of paint,Bry Just back from the blasters,i expected to find more work than this once they'd done there thing,but this is a fairly solid old shell,Bry 43 Willys Jeep Wayne,no expence spared resto

Well poor Bryan has been at the Drags at Famoso Raceway, Bakersfield, CA for the last 2 weeks, but the good news is, that it is going in to The Intergalactic Custom Shop ;D next week for the front stuts doing and the cage sorting so it is up to spec, it needs to be 'tagged' for racing and the work that was done by Bill through Chris Addison is no good, Bill is a 4x4 specialist, and although his work is fine, its not Drag race or Hot Rod quality, in fact Bryan said that the floor and firewall were that heavy, he thought it had been made by the same guy who built the 'Turpitz' ;D ;D ;D Pics and info as soon as I get it Cheers Ken

The flip front, boot lid, rear wings and dash panel are ready in the proper blue gelcoat colour from Pro Laminates, they are sending the colour to Old ford Autos who are making a Pro Stock scoop, the body/chassis is on its way back from Intagalactic Custoshop with front struts sorted, going to tag original chassis to 8.50, hopefully,rather than 7.50 for another £9000 for a full tube chassis, plus all the other stuff that goes with it! Unless I can sell this one first! Engine gone to Ian Tubb( you either know or you don't) for Pro Pro Comp rectangular port heads and TR2X Tunnel Ram and dual quad Holley 660cfm center squirter carbs fitted and probably a cam to suit, then all bits together for Bryan to build and paint ;D Still missing loads of stuff from original builder, still need loads of bits, cheers Ken

Yes Adam, thats right, current Outlaw Anglia spec, with 'Funny Car style cage', and thats cheap! Its not just the cost of the chassis though, all the axle, suspension, brakes would have to be altered, so a complete new car really, which I don't need, cos iv'e got one! And then, of course a motor and box to justify it all, not my price bracket, im afraid! .So we are putting struts on the front to take the weight of the big block, putting some tubes in the cage in places where they need to be, its all new, remember, its just the best Tag you can get on chassis rails is 8.50, I would be well happy with that ;D As far as parts needed, I will stick a list up, thanks, Cheers Ken
