Once again thanks for creating one of the most interesting and information posts on this site. Your absolutely fearless. Great instructional photos, your commitment is appreciated...this is what I wanted from American Hot Rod or Foose but we all know what we got from them.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
This is one of my favorite builds ever. I like oddball cars and combos. I love RPM's so the S2000 drivetrain makes it ever better. Great work.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Engine out again ...for the last time!
On the last episode of Driftbeam Garage the firewall and trans tunnel were starting to resemble something almost recognizable: Here's how it looked from the business side ![]() ![]() This wasn't gonna fly. Someone could put an eye out on that... so: ![]() ![]() That's more like it: ![]() Other side needs love too: ![]() the weld across the horizontal joint was not my proudest moment (chased some holes and had contamination from the other side), but it'll all grind out... ![]() |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
This was just too gappy for me to consider trying to fill.
![]() Shrinker/Stretcher time: ![]() Out with the old ![]() In with the new ![]() I'll have to use a little filler there to get it perfect ...oh well ![]() ![]() Still need to dress the inside, but here's how it sits tonight ![]() |
