Miglia Build

[EL PRIMER]

Hi , I have actually been lurking around this site for years and I recently collected a Miglia body from Mike to start a build.
I am a Hot Rodder at heart , therefore expect a few different build touches as the build progresses.
I bought a body only and intend to do everything else in my own way.
I am using an early Herald chassis , a 62 , so will be upgrading the brakes etc. not sure what powerplant yet . It's early days so things could change !
Thank you to Mike for his help and flexibility with my requirements.

Welcome to the forum EP. Looking forward to seeing some rod mods on your build. What's your schedule - on the road by Christmas?

Nice to see another new builder taking up the challenge

no progress as of yet . no ones fault other than mine. i wanted to wait for the modified doors for the Miglia and Mike tells me the bonnet is being improved too. i haven't chased him for these parts as its not been the greatest of weather to build in anyway.
i should be starting to put something together in about 3 weeks.

Hi Nice speaking Saturday, you have some great ideas and its nice to
see some other peoples talents.

Yes i feel i wanted to have a separate inner bonnet frame, gives option for mounting bonnet hinges and a solid feel . And a little more space in the inner door skins for customers to be able to fit internal door hinges.

Its all progress , and adds speed on the build.

You can say that again.

Have you managed to get any work done on your Herald chassis while waiting for the upgraded body?

As you know we like to see photos.

Good luck, Paul.
