Next we need to notch them to allow room for the exhausts.
We've got some steel moulding to continue the swage lines on the doors around the back of the cab, which will disguise the joint between the Morris Minor cab back panel & the Mini wing panels, (the swage shows how much the doors need to be lifted to fit at the moment).
Now the cab's almost fully enclosed, it's hard to imagine the truck as the saloon car it used to be.

With a musical theme..... There was a pop song called "Monkey Chop" back in '79...... make your own mind up about the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLkxApoKUGUDave and Ansel Collins had a track called "Monkey Spanner" back in '71 (and a track called "Double Barrell" - could be carb reated?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKusXQoRVUk |

Monkey Spanner -coo, that takes me back. Northern Soul lives! The carb's a 4 barrel Holley. saw one at the drag races last year called "Truck Ugly". Never been one for naming my vehicles, but this one's been so long in the making, maybe it deserves a suitable moniker. At the moment it's just the Mankymobile. So far we've used parts from: Ford, (original body shell, front axle, steering box & suspension arms, plus pedals) tractor, (headlights & exhaust silencers) Hillman, (front wheels) Triumph, (front disc brakes & windscreen wiper motor) Morris, (front suspension dampers, steering wheel & column, plus cab back panel) Rover, (engine & gearbox, roof panel, plus parts of the steering column linkage, radiator expansion tank & windscreen wipers) Buick, (carburettor manifold) VW, (collapsible steering column section, brake master cylinder & pick-up bed arches) Austin, (seat frames) Volvo, (seat covering) British Leyland Mini, (cab rear corner panels) British Leyland Sherpa, (rear axle & rear drum brakes) London taxi cab, (rear wheels) Reliant, (fuel tank) French farmhouse, (tailgate locking handle) Everything else is hand fabricated. |

How's about a Monkey/Moniker/Manky name  |

Nothing wrong with that as a name. Then when you get the trike on the road it can be Mankymobile 2.... and so on....... |
