In the Garage

Christmas at Burnham autos is homework time... Paul's finally got round to doing his Buick wings after two years, Mat has been preparing his Standard 10 for MOT after doing the disc brake conversion, and Dan Burnham got a new HEI (High Energy Ignition) distributor for Christmas. So he and Dad wasted no time coming in on Christmas day and had the truck running by the afternoon, with it driving thanks to Dad making a prop shaft before the new year started.

Its not easy modifying wings like Pauls when they're off the car so the wings were bolted together and the headlamp apertures lined up before the modified headlamp rims were made. Pauls new bonnet emblem for the Buick is actually a bottle opener, but he says he better not catch you using it!

This British racing green '32 coupe is in for finishing which will include aligning body gaps, fitting windows, complete interior, rewire and a complete front to back check. Owner Steve Porter has recently bought this car from the previous owner who has spent the last 15 or so years building this incredibly detailed car. The bracketry on the vehicle is a work of art.
