Paul and Mary's "Silver Bullet"!!! (Ford 302 powered MGB)
This is a wonderful car, and it's shown in exquisite detail - 95 step-by-step "How It Was Done" photos!
Frankly, there are so many trick details on this car that even 95 photos isn't really enough; We'll just have to photograph it again next summer and see if we can fill in some gaps. The write-up is pretty long overdue for being added to the photo gallery, so finally... here's the link: The Silver Bullet: Paul Schils' 1971 MGB with Ford 302 V8 Engine preview: I think the fourteen photo sequence on installing Huffaker-style fiberglass flares is particularly interesting.

Paul,
I like the way you took the subtle racing strip on to the dash . Also the subtle racing strip looks great without attracting law enforcement . Will |

I don't usually like flares, but these are really, really nice. What a good-looking car.
