Absolutely beautiful!!! I love what yiou do with paint.

Only one thing I would have done different on that one, that's mounting the body with one set of pins as far behind the rear wheels as possible. Make it a true funny car. But that's just me. :D

It is one spectacular rod!

Got to be the most radical MG I've ever seen. Really nice job!

Originally this car was probably not intended to be raced on a drag strip.
If you have ever seen the movie "Hot Rod Girl", notice what her T-Bird is racing against in the opening drag races: a wire wheeled Jaguar. So I'd say an MGA is a drag car by 1956 B-movie standards.
I used to sorta street-drag an MGA...sorta. I had an MGA engine and 4-speed transmission in a Nash Metropolitan. It was quick in a straight line, but it cornered about as well as the bathtub it's body was styled from.
