Great to see you back around the place, Stanier. That's a classic combo if ever there was one. Beautiful GW, beautiful car and great outfit!

If I remember right they’re Loftgrens, I think that Chris posted them when he first got them.

Thanks for the kind words Burt. The car is largely why I've been offline as I bought it in 2021 and almost straight away started rebuilding it - I can bore people about easily! a quick pic as you asked

That’s gorgeous… beautiful restoration .
I’m not familiar with the make of it, as we don’t see many of them here in the US.
What make is it ?

It's a British Mk1 Ford Zephyr Zodiac Burt. They were based on the American Ford 1949 shoebox. Mine is a custom / hot rod car with essentially what is the running gear of a hot 60's Ford Mustang... a pic of the engine. Cheers

Nice. Good choice. Classy two tone paint on the car. Were they original colours?

That’s a classic small block Ford 302 Cubic Inch …5.0 liter V8 . Beautiful Chris … nicely done .
That’s a real low profile get up and go car. Not many would know what that has under the hood.

Nice!
What intake manifold, carb, heads, and headers are you running? I'm assuming that's an Edelbrock intake right?

Hi , this RW fits you very well . I think it's just the fact that you usualy or quite always wear slim jackets .Well , I gess ! I own 3 ELC 44 and one ELC 46 ( 23373 models , 2 Air matsers "time worn" , 1 that I'm still break'in , all these 3 are slim fit and the last one is an older one second hand Pearl Harbour , the 46 one that in 1st impression i felt a beat baggy ) . I just had to putted the jacket in the shower ( extern part only ) and wore it till it dried and shrink a little , just to mold better on my body , now it's just fine I'm happy cause now I can wear a wool sweater under and have the choice of style I want to wear , slim fit or "loosy fit" . . And some pics with the diff ELC . 1st is the 46 with a qute heavy wool sweater under , 2nd one of the Air Masters time worn with a tee shirt and the last the seal brown break'in wip with a thn wool sweater . All different shapes that give me more choices.
Btw , I just ordered a RW 27752 to BK . ("20% Russet Friday" ). I'm 1m88 90kgs , quite athletic . The size i ordered is a 46S , Hope that it will fit me like yours !! Is yours a seal liberty Horse leaher ? Just t know , it was my choice . Here is the promo
