That's an exceptional looking MG you've got there Dave.
Extreme machine or what?

Looks like you've successfully cross bred a Cobra with a B. Bet it does go as well as it looks. Well done.

Thanks Guys,Straight line acceleration is unbelievable!So far I havent tested cornering alot but the cars body doesnt seem to sway much if at all, which is GOOD! Sean the side pipes came from JC whitney they had the shortest pipes around I am not crazy about the pipes with the shields but they look good,I like the header side pipe better but didnt see any in chrome short enough,Extreme Machines is the place I work I build custom cars for people all day,This is my personal car it took two years to build.

Bill,The fenders started life as volkswagon rear fenders if you look at the wheel lip you can see volkswagon it was the closest thing to a cobra fender that I saw availiable, the car has a TON of metal work.
