This is John the shop owner's own Super Bee. Similar to the Road Runner but more desirable.
He bought it from a prospective customer who began work on it but then couldn't afford to continue, (we know that feeling). It's been in storage for several years but John now has all the new panels, (ordered through the same guys ours came from after he was impressed with the quality of ours).
Here, the old floor panels are being plasma cut out.

The Super Bee's a "B body" car. The basic skeleton is the same as the Chargers & several others, with different body panels for the various models. The earlier "A body" cars were smaller. The front end here is the same as Taz's Charger behind it.

Downstairs, Jason is in charge of the final fitting. I love this '57 Chevy, though the blingy wheels aren't quite my thing.

Not to be outdone, the stone mason in the neighbouring industrial unit runs this sweet little Moggy Minor van.

 At some point Taz has to ferret through this pile of bits & decide which are useable & which should be bunged on Ebay for an enormous profit recycled. The big blue bit's the dashboard.

We need someone who knows what they're looking at to come & check over the motor, donated to us for free last year. It's a 383 cubic inch, (6 1/4 litre), V8 Charger engine which last saw service in "Pinball Wizard", the 70s Ford Pop show winner.

Thank God you told us Blair. We'd look pretty silly trying to bolt it in that way up wouldn't we. |
