[@jaylamm8698]

This was a super fun project. Took about ten years all told, not even counting the endless years that the great Skip Snyder put in before I got it. Until John and Matt took it on, it was a terrifying death trap. With incredible skill and diligence and engineering, they were able to transform it into a possibly slightly less terrifying death trap. The NE1000, with Steven Cavalieri codriving, was absolutely hilarious. Except maybe the whole final day, when Steven had to shift while I steered with my right hand and wiped rain and fog off the windshield with my left. Delighted we did it; equally delighted we never have to do it again!

Ten, twenty, a hundred years ago there was an article in R&T(?) about an MGA that got a "sanded with a brick, painted with a broom" driveway paint job. An assortment of aftermarket body panels covered in red paint. They took it to an all Ferrari car show, got waived through the gate that they were not even trying to go in. To their surprise, the body panels, the paint and the general aesthetic fooled several people into thinking it was a war torn unrestored race car. The car drew a crowd of armrest "experts" who loved the great racing Ferrari. Nobody seemed to notice the vents beside the hood which clearly read MGA on them. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

[@BabyJesus66]

No

*R&T editors freely admit they were smoknig a lot of crack back then.*

There's never been a shortage of know-nothings willing to bloviate about their imagined expertise. I've heard a guy telling his date that my Pantera was a Lambo Countach, another one who thought my Beck 550 Spyder was an MGA, and another one telling a girl that the custom 240Z convertible (first one on the planet) I was driving during the build process was nothing special, because he had read "FIAT" on the gearshift knob that was in the car at the time.

I first met Jim Kellison in 1956 when he brought his first generation car to our High School Auto Shop, This is the same High School the Barris Brothers graduated from. Later I worked for Jim Kellison when he had his company in Lincoln CA. At that time we were building the "Stallion". A sorta Cobra type car, that almost passed the Federal Specs for Road worthy. Jim was buying parts from Ford Motor Company and using their bank. I'll leave the story there because finances were not Jim's speciality.

Well said, they are cars, who cares who builds them and whether it's built in large factory or a garage. This 'it's a kit car' mantra is what perpetuates the misconception that kit cars are bad, yes some are, but then some mass produced cars are.

Pretty impressive. I've been building/ restoring/ race prepping/ modifying cars for over 5 decades, know exactly what it takes to do this, and well remember seeing these bodies drag-racing in M/SP. As an aside, a guy I worked for eons ago had a Kellison with a 283 SBC on a modified TR chassis, while I was running a Corvair-powered Avenger. Both of 'em were kinda awful, unfinished, rough around the edges, but some of the most fun I've ever had. I'm currently going through an early Beck 550 for myself, undoing all the backyard bodged messes. Keep on building cool stuff.

Old British Smiths instruments, ex Jaguar but a bit more recent than 1960. As a teenager I bought a similar 1850s "home built", fiberglass special that had been designed for a Ford 10 chassis, a little English saloon. It had been modified and fitted to a Riley 1750 cc six cylinder chassis with knock on wire wheels. I put the engine back together, got it all going, it was fast and quite exciting. A fellow came up to me out on the road, asked me what the running gear was and made me a very good offer. He was restoring a pristine Riley and my bits were just what he was looking for.
