Same car!

Wrong wheels. The Roadkill car had alloy knock-off wheels that were probably worth more than the rest of the shell or the finished car! That also tells me that the roadkill car has a stock MGB rear axle.

Gotta admit though, the paint job confirms it.

It did originally.  In a later episode they upgraded to a beefier axle and I think made some significant suspension changes.

Edit:  this was one of my favorite hot rod garage projects.  Wish I could justify buying it.

Buy this instead. Probably closer to you.

In reply to NOHOME :

That is pretty.  But space and time are my big issues right now.  Too many projects stacked up to be completed at this point.

Might want to get some paint on the chassis improvements. 

I loved this build, too. Tony seemed to have some serious fun canyon carving for the cameras.

In reply to NOHOME :

I just went to your profile and read what you wrote about that B-GT.  Classic.  

That could be worth a lot more in a different part of the country, and or marketed to the right crowd.

In reply to spitfirebill :

Truth in advertising! 

How much for the BGT? 

In reply to mw :

Whatever 9k Canadian works out to in real $$$

I need those spline drive Panasports/Minator wheels for a project.

At $6,820us, that seems like a helluva deal.

In reply to Fueled by Caffeine :

The ad is gone, but I'm curious what price it was listed for?

Loved this build.

I'm pretty sure that $6900 was the asking price for the Hot Rod Garage build.

In reply to problemaddict :

It was less than $7k. 

Was listed at $6900 but in reality it was worth challenge money as al it could ever be was a rough track car. It had some nice retail-priced bits like the MOSS front suspension.

I want to build something with hatter -pipes.Either that or a "Turbo on a Stick" that deploys on flexible exhaust pipe when I hit the magic button!
