naturbar Posted May 5, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2015 I own a 1977 MGB Roadster and also hang out with a bunch of British car enthusiast - over the winter we (call ourselves the BNO i.e. boys night out group) began our build of an old British Morgan Three Wheeler. We started with a donated Triumph Spitfire (we used the front end and part of the chassis), a purchased 1978 Honda GL500 Silverwing and a bunch of scrap steel laying around the shop and began our project around Sept. 2014. We finished up around three weeks ago. I documented the majority of the build and will provide a link below for anyone who care to look at. Also one of our local TV station came out to the shop and did a mini documentary video piece several weeks ago and they aired it yesterday. I will also provide the link below to the video, hope you all enjoy. http://s367.photobucket.com/user/naturbar/library/3 Wheel Project?sort=6&page=1 http://myfox8.com/2015/05/04/randolph-county-man-builds-replica-antique-morgan-car/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrinGT Posted May 5, 2015 Share #8 Posted May 5, 2015 I think that is SO COOL! Excellent Job! Our first bike was a Silver Wing Interstate, and that motor looks right at home on the Morganda! I fell in Love with the Morgan watching this episode of Top Gear: http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/1700735166001 Thanks for sharing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturbar Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks to all for the kind words. It is as much fun to build and figure out things as it is to ride in it ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Puc: "OH MY GOSH!! THAT IS AWESOME NATTY!! When I grow up I hope I am blessed by the god's of talent with the extremes that you and "Buzz" (hope I caught that correctly....almost Puc I'm the passenger) were blessed with me friend - THAT Morghonda that you created is a GORGEOUS piece of work Natty - UNREAL!! Loved the" I wish I were the brains behind these creations but my friend Jim (who was diving) is actually the creative genius mostly responsible for all that goes on at the Proper Shop. As a collective effort these projects come to fruition. We're currently in process of building a 1952 MGTD pickup truck (MG never did a TD truck). We're using a fiberglass body and MGB running works on this build. We recently did the same car and it turned out really nice (I'll post a pic). I'm documenting the truck build and will occasionally post our progress (if anyone is interested). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DARRINGT: I saw the episode of that Morgan, it is awesome.....they are expensive though as one could spend $50-$70K on one - that why when did ours on the cheap.

Hummingbird Posted May 6, 2015 Share #11 Posted May 6, 2015 I bought a 2015 version of Websters Collegiate Dictionary and looked up Master Mechanic, should have known there was a picture of Naturbar and his Morghonda ! Awesome ! and in 7 months, it would take GM, Chrysler and Ford engineers 2 years just to design that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
