This is Bill's car the 'Superscheißekasten'
The car was built over a period of 9 weeks
on a reasonably small budget. Bill had very
definite ideas on what he wanted. There had
to be no polishing, painting or cleaning!
Most of the parts were supplied by Bill himself,
and we put it together how he wanted. It's
not to everyone's taste, but most people agree
that it turned out well. Bill is still dead
chuffed with it!
He continues to refine it......maybe a new engine
soon? |

The Roe's Oval
The car is a South African 1956 oval. It
was brought up to UK MOT standard by us a
few months before it came back for the major
work. The car has had a full bare metal repaint
in gloss black. The brake system is now dual
circuit with front discs and rear late drums.
The wheels are 6"x15" American Torque
Thrust II's.

This is Andy's roof chop
This car was originally roof chopped over
12 years ago, and was unused for at least
the last 8 years. Andy wanted us to do something
very different, and this is what he and Jerry
came up with!
The car has: full flip front (with an Audi TT fuel
flap); custom US 3" oversize rear wings; solenoid
doors; electric windows; teardrop rear lights, billet
aluminum running boards; Center Line style copy
wheels (8"x15" rear, 5.5"x15"
front). |
