Can't wait to see the pictures. Tigers without telephone-pole dents in the doors are rather rare.

I would have had a hard time cutting that one up.

Its funny what we hold sacred and what we will cut up at the drop of a hat.

Did you get the original 360/4-speed that Mister Shelby put in your Tiger? That would move it down the street nicely.

rust

To answer Flipper and Skip the car was a rust bucket and couldn't have ever been restored it also had no drive train at all. I saved the door quarters and hood with cowl/wind shield quess that'll have to do it...Thanks Dave

I'm just curious. I worked in a foreign car wrecking yard in the early '70s in So. Cal. We had a few wrecked Tigers, and the drive trains were a hot ticket. 360 Ford engines. Balance,d blueprinted, bunch of speed equipment. Guys would buy them and just put them in a hot rod. No upgrades needed. Of course they were way over powered in a Sunbeam Tiger. Thus the repeated interactions with telephone poles, etc.

Have fun with your project. It looks like you are well on your way.

Hi skip sorry they only put ford v8's with 260 or 289 cubic inch in the tigers.....side note i raced a 61 alpine with a 1000 cc motor in scca in the 1970's man it was fun no door handle to door handle just for time on a road course, ps i also worked in a wrecking yard late 60's.

LOL. My bad. Fumble fingers strikes again! I was typing 260, but my fingers hit 360. That would be a monster!
