OK, I’ve searched the Speedway site and could not find an MG truck box. ‘23 T bucket, yes, but those are plain back panels. Can you please supply more info. That box would be ideal to finish the back end when the race cage is installed.

Always loved that old Moss TD’amino and thought it’d be great to replicate. Looks like a short T-bucket bed fits perfectly. Alas, not with a rear-engined kit, though.

Wait…does that tub really have an MG logo molded in?

Whoa! Speedway had the bed with an MG logo? Way cool! That does look good.

This will require photos.

The short tilt wheel release lever found on older car columns fits as a turn signal lever. No modification required.

I do not know the actual backspacing measurements but I run 15 x 7 Mustang police steelies with no issue. My 14 x6 Cragar Truspokes stick out just to the fender edge like the 15’s do.

Wow that’s a tight squeeze!

Welcome to the group. I look forward to seeing this project underway. Very few of these have been built in the past two decades. Parts are still available through MG Magic tho.

Have you decided on an engine yet?

Wow! To have an untouched original still in the box. I am really looking forward to following your build. Again, Wow!

Good to see progress on that bad baby!

Well, we managed to finish fitting the replacement grille shell. After fitment I took some polishing compound to it.
