I will track down some other pics shortly. The car is in my garage and will get on the road soon. I recently moved, so the car is on the back burner. I have to wrap up some wiring then I should be abel to fire it up again.

CCSurf that is a beautiful car. I may not be into muscle cars for myself, but WOW. Well done
Rod, the 39 is killer. I am thinking of trading off my A for a 39/40 Tudor. I am really looking for a little more room these days. I dig the Bug also.
More pics will come soon of the A. Like I said it is off the road right now due to the purchase of my new house. So it is beltline deep in boxes.:?

The 39's off the road now, currently i am striping it down for new paint and trim, paint going to be trad black'n'flames, new interior using gold metalflake and white vinyl and new wheels(either Radirs or ARE salt flats with the radial widewhites),
The 39' tows a small Eriba caravan, for hot rod shows and trips to Newquay, Cornwall.
Kanes Bug is a stock 1300, for insurance reasons, lowered on crager 5 spokes and thin band whites,

Sponger a mate of mine Chris White (Dr Dub) is going to do the upholstery so no prices at the moment, he does a real good job, mostly on T25's etc, mines gonna be diamond stiched flake so a tricky one, will see,
