I will be pulling molds off my Sebring front and rear valances in order to make new parts. There is also the possibility of designing new parts all together. I am a professional automotive design clay modeler and have been designing and fabricating show cars and prototypes for about 8 years, so these kits will be tastefully done. If I do a re-design, I will pull molds off the clay modeled front/rear valance, wing, etc. and make fiberglass parts to send out if I can generate enough interest. I can also do a couple different designs for the parts listed above and make separate molds for each. If you have any design suggestions or other parts you would like to see produced, let me know. You can email me at scarpacci2002@yahoo.com or respond to this posting...Thanks!!! http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1606845#msg-1606845 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:38:50 -0500 Phorum 5.2.15a http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,2322700#msg-2322700 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,2322700#msg-2322700 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?68,2295387,page=1]]> tonyjennes MGB & GT Forum Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:03:23 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,2295438#msg-2295438 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,2295438#msg-2295438 In reply to # 2167003 by digispurs Any chance you're making full body kits yet?

I've thought about going with the retro 8s (your's of course) It would be cheaper and stronger but I have always loved a look that was very popular with club racers in the fifties and sixties of white wire wheels. I had them on my 55 Healey BN-1 100-4 and painted my Dunlops that way when I first got my 67 GT. Of course I could paint the retro 8s that way (when the minilights came out I saw some painted but they were usually a sort of hazard yellow, which was pretty cool looking too)But damn me, despite the problems I've had with the splined hubs (I put on the brakes in the Healey, the drum stopped but the front wheel didn't--yeowee!)I love the look of the two earred knock-off and I just purchased a new set of four with the MG crest in the middle. So, since the retro 8s don't have the plate for them, it looks like I'll just have to save my pennies for what I'm looking for. As for the flairs, I'm caught between putting them on and running my Dunlops until...or just fixing the stock fenders, then cutting them up to put on the flairs when I have the wheels and tires to match. My fear is that if I don't do it now I never will.

David, FWIW, I always get myself in trouble when I announce these sorts of things :), but we have listen to you all and will be working on a VTO spline drive wheel in the future, I can't say when the project will be done, but it atleast it's being planned at this point, which was not the case that long ago.]]> Speedracer MGB & GT Forum Mon, 11 Apr 2011 18:22:27 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1723798#msg-1723798 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1723798#msg-1723798 armycamacho MGB & GT Forum Mon, 11 Apr 2011 18:16:27 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1721237#msg-1721237 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1721237#msg-1721237

Dave, have you considered doing a bolt on conversion to your car, thats exactly what I did to my 67 GT, I did Jeff's method, by leaving the spoke wheel rear end housing in the car, and running bolt hubs fornt and rear, a wheel spacer on the rear and longer studs, it a preety easy conversion, and Bruno did a great job of ducumenting this on the library here. It's nice because I could use the stackable 1/8" wheel spacing I had to tune where I wanted the wheel and tire to be. You get aways form expensie sline hubs and all thepitflal thay can have and you save big time on wheel cost.

Ok getting to wheels , we have the 15x7 at VTO in 0 offset in Classic 8 and Retro 4, and will have this same size and offset in the new Leamans by summer time, and they will be consderabley less than spline drive wheels, also the 15x7 0 offest works great with the flared MGB ad for bring tthe wheel and tire out to the flares, and it exactly what I will be running on my 68 GT SCCA race car, the problem is with most wheels this size they come in way too much offset for FWD cars with stock fenders, and we made these wheels for SCCA race cars with flared fenders, so it somewhat a unique size and offset. Oh and we also now have 16x7 and 16x8 for folks doing something alittle different.]]> Speedracer MGB & GT Forum Fri, 08 Apr 2011 05:19:58 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1721060#msg-1721060 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1721060#msg-1721060 tonyjennes MGB & GT Forum Fri, 08 Apr 2011 00:25:52 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1720813#msg-1720813 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1720813#msg-1720813 http://www.mgexperience.net/phorum/read.php?1,1720809]]> tonyjennes MGB & GT Forum Thu, 07 Apr 2011 19:02:21 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1720788#msg-1720788 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1720788#msg-1720788 It may be that mine will fit like those on #9 once I trim away the excess mounting lip.

Would look good on front and back. If you have 6" wide wheels you could make a spacer out of 2x4's(1 1/2" wide) to know how wide for coverage. Most guys with flares have 7-8" wide rims. My guess 3-4" wide.

Thanks Randy
Hey Randy, the current valance will work with fender flares. The front side of the wheel arch on the new fender flare will meet the valance similar to Jim's picture of the Cobra posted above. The bottom front corner of the flare will have a return flange and attach to the valance. Hope that makes sense.

How about a little more flare on the bottom rear like the 289 cobra.The Cobra is aluminum but, you can see where it is wide in rear.
Hey Jim, I like the Cobra flares alot. Once I start building it in clay I can decide on what it needs to look like and play around with the design a bit.

Jim- Thanks! Yeah, I agree on the flares. I'm going to be doing a more rounded look on the back. The flat ones look a bit off for some reason. Or maybe I'll play around with a half flat/half round? As far as the "tooth" on the valance, that can be easily removed if you were to purchase one. That was my little add to the design just to break up the shape of the opening.

I think design-wise the front valance with all the variations your offering is really there. Sebring-style rear valances such as yours and mine flow very nicely with the B body, so accomodations for an inset license plate and exhausts cut outs (either single or dual for the V8 crowd) and an attachment system that simplifies installation might be the limit.(But very much appreciated I'm sure)

Fender flairs is the place where I see the most interest and the most need. Asthetically the GT takes any style flair better than the roadsters do. So I would concentrate on designs that look good on the roadsters first. The problem with the flairs out now is, for the most part that they are too wide. The Sebring style leaves a lot of empty space to be filled by wheel and tire. The limit on a B body seems to be a about a 7X15 wheel with 205 or 225 R 60s. I just purchased a full set of Huffaker style flairs and these are not as radical as the Sebrings while still conforming to the FIA/SCCA requirement that the wheel openings match the shape of the original body work. However the Huffakers are going to take a lot of work on each flair to get them to smoothly match the sheet metal and they will be under a lot of tension to conform to the wheel openings. The arc at the bottom tips are spread wider than they should be. Plus again, there are no provisions for attaching them to the body while the adhesive is setting. So I'll be a drilling a number of holes (at least 7 in each) in both the flair and the body to lash them down, hopefully without them cracking or breaking. Unlike the valances which have to account for the variance between CB and RB cars, there is really no excuse for flairs being so far off in their shape coming out of the box. On the other hand, looking at cars like Dan Master's GT there's no need to adhere to the FIA/SCCA requirement that the flairs match the 'profile' of the original body work. It is with the V8-V6 folks that you'll see the most interest. Right now they are using metal VW Rabbit and Plymouth Horizon flairs, or Sebrings or some of the other full body kits with oversized fenders. Or doing nothing because the B body will take a 6" wide wheel (with careful axle location) and a 195 to 205 width tire.


As for rear spoiler or wing on the GT, I've toyed with the idea of an adjustable one attached at the rear of the roof or the top of the hatch, rather than the style which does nothing aerodynamically and affixes at the bottom between the tail lights. This is going to be tricky to get something that looks right and functional with PeninFarina's nifty body work.

What you might look into is producing a flush fitting deck lid for behind the seats of a roadster. The one that is available from Moss is awful.


Hope this gives you a couple of ideas.

Tony, let me thank you for taking on such a project, and putting it out there for everyone to judge, thats always a tough deal, there's no doubting you have a talent. Creativity is not something we "dudes" normally pocess, most of us are lucky to leave the house with pants and shirts that match :), I think thats why 90% of the cars in our hobby are either green or red, we lack imagination and creativity. Being a art student and excelling at that early in life, I learned real quick, being imagative and creative can help you to lead the pack, rather than follow the pack, and you sir are leading the pack, job well done!

So Tony, as you already know, put me down for the first consumer unit, and let me know how and when to pay you, I definately plan on putting my money where my mouth is. :D]]> Speedracer MGB & GT Forum Sat, 19 Mar 2011 05:14:49 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1704689#msg-1704689 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1704689#msg-1704689 RSS MGB & GT Forum Fri, 18 Mar 2011 18:24:28 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1704626#msg-1704626 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1704626#msg-1704626 tonyjennes MGB & GT Forum Fri, 18 Mar 2011 16:33:42 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1704576#msg-1704576 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1704576#msg-1704576

On chrome bumper MGBs, the turn signal are made into the fenders, like Tony's car pictured above. On the rubber bumper MGB, the turn signals are indeed part of the RB assembly, so any chrome bumper, or bumplessless conversion for a RB MGB will include you having to mount turn signals.]]> Speedracer MGB & GT Forum Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:46:35 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1702635#msg-1702635 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1702635#msg-1702635 Thanks Guy's,

In other words the valance will be flush with the fenders and the bolts will not be visible from the outside, also unlike the Sebring. Plus it also has an adjustable splitter lip for more downforce and so you don't bash it on any curbs. :)]]> tonyjennes MGB & GT Forum Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:10:36 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1701962#msg-1701962 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1701962#msg-1701962 In reply to a post by Bugsy Hey Guy's not to hijack the Post... but would like to put Tony's Sebring Front end on my 1980 RB.

Well, I can't speak for Tony, but it's still in the plannng/finishing stages, he working on the molds in his last post, and we're all waiting patiently, because it looks so damn good,and we all want one :) But hey, lets get something straight right off the bat, I'm first dammit X( :)]]> Speedracer MGB & GT Forum Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:38:22 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1701929#msg-1701929 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1606845,1701929#msg-1701929 Bugsy MGB & GT Forum Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:39:04 -0500
