Ya she's done, that's the sweetness, all lamb-like and unassuming...with a wolf inside. Great job.

A little more...
Rearranged the shop a bit. Was planning to trailer her over to the local Saturday Night Cruz-In, but didn't make it yet. Started stitching the trans tunnel back in. 3" aft and 1" higher than stock. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Hard to say. It all depends on how much more travel time is in the cards. Hopefully no more!

Yep. Here she is. Short bed and big window parts are staged... She's a workhorse. Been in the family 35+ years.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I tend to go back and forth on this build looking at the amazing fabrication skills you have and not to mention your vision of this car. Simply jaw dropping.
We just need to get you back in the garage and update us w/some new pics to drool over.

Another thing I find really interesting...it's funny how the SWB vs. LWB discussion pops up in so many threads and so many conversations. I've had many, many of these trucks in both long and shortbed formats, but I must confess to having a preference for the short trucks! Anyway, keep up the great work, and I'm sure many of us will keep watching. It's just your cross to bear having to listen to all our "inputs" and ideas! lol

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Slowed up on the Minx over the last couple months due to several factors. One of which was the forming of a new car club and cruise-in. Needed something to take to the cruises so I gave a little TLC to my 64 C10. One thing leads to another ...you know how it goes. I have project ADD in the worste way!
I have four days off starting tomorrow and WILL be working on the Minx! Standby for update... |
