MG TD TF 1500 - Picture update on TD vintage race-car project

Just wanted to offer up a sincere thank you, and share a rather significant milestone on my TD race-car project with you folks. Even though I've yet to fit the engine, this weekend I finished a final test fit of the cycle fenders and all the assorted shiny bits (lights, door handles and latches, windscreen, Brookland type screens, etc.) prior to a final disassemble, fitting the roll bar and fuel cell, a little more metal surface prep and primer, then its ' on to final paint'!
Although it shines but dimly in the distance-I do believe I see light at the end of the tunnel.
Regards

Here's on more picture- just overlook that 'old fart' who snuck into the picture.

Looking good, Hiram.

Where did you get the cycle fenders?
Gene Gillam

Hello again Gene
I looked all over the place, thought about using some motorcycle fenders but really wanted that center ridge so ultimately decided to 'pay the price' and had Barry Walker in England custom make me a pair. I got the little round mounting brackets and rear of fender 'stays' from him as well.

Nice work, Hiram. I like the custom front apron/sway bar setup.

Are you planning on racing this with us in CVAR?
David Littlefield

Hello and thanks David
Yes that's my plan. Unless I'm too damn old by the time I finish this project(lol). I'd have been a lot further along on this project if I hadn't had to completely re-build my tub.
Still have a little more work to do on that front apron. Plan to lover it to match the bonnet.

Cool. We don't currently have any T-Series cars racing. Reed Yates has a TF that he used to race a lot, but he hasn't been on the track in a couple years with it. We have a couple of MGAs that race regularly in that class, however.

I race a MG midget.
David Littlefield

I met Reed a couple of times at Hallett several years ago, really nice guy and a really nice supercharged TF I believe. Wasn't there a Blake, Gibb I think? racing a TD with you guys.
Looks like I'll be the resident rolling chicane- gridded in amongst Lou and her daughter's MGA's(lol).
