Allen,
I'll give you a more accurate view of what is in slow process:

Imagine if you will... a '68 BRG MGBGT, pre-sidelights.  The wheels are 15 inch 
minilite look alikes with low profile wide tyres.   Thr grill is the recessed 
black vertical bars version.  the inner and outer stainless steel rims have been
removed and the grill is recessed as far back as it can go.  SO there is no 
bright trim around the outer edge, and all you see are black vertical bars and a
red MGB logo in the center.  Recessed into the mouth under the bonnet front, in 
front of the grill are two 6 inch round fog lamps.  The vertical bumper gards 
are removed.  An air dam will soon sit under the front bumper.

There will be a dark yellow wide racing stripe that covers the entire nose and 
headlamp area and goes down the middle (Think Team Lotus formula car paint 
scheme).

At the rear, the stock gas cap is replaced by a hinged cap from a TR6.  The rear
badging and backup lamps removed.  The '70 split bumper without overriders 
installed with the lowered license plate between the bumper halves and 
illuminated by a standard chrome Lucas license plate light.

Think black interior with white piping, late seventies insturment panel with 
cubby box and air vents.  Wood Motoleta steering wheel, counsel between seats 
with padded arm rest.

That is what I'm building...with minor tweeks to the suspension of course.

Take care.
