In the next segment yet to published you will see that after measuring an existing Anglia today we are lowering the body to frame 6". Good advice. Thank you! Bob
Gentlemen, I stumbled on this channel looking for t-bucket builds. I love t-buckets, mainly because it reminds me of the AA/FA of yesteryear. That being said, where did you source the Anglia body? Still watching the build, keep the updates coming. Thank you.
Steve hello! Lou is an accomplished street rod builder. His last project was a gorgeous '23 'T' Bucket which can be viewed in detail at: www.motortrend.com/features/homebuilt-hot-rod-1923-ford-t-bucket-pickup/ Regards the Anglia fiberglass body we had looked at Scott's in Ohio as a possible source however Scott sold the Anglia molds and the new owners were not up yet to providing bodies. We found a second source in Studio City Cowboy in California. Their history and reputation looked good so we went to him for ours.

I think you need to get the correct rear fenders to see how they fit around the rear wheels. Then lower the body for the correct clearance followed by channeling the floor if required. May look nice if it squats down some.
Nice project. I had thought the Anglia would make an interesting street car ever since I saw what was left of a body shell in a junkyard some 30 years ago. So I'm living a little vicariously through your project. I'm wondering how much space you are going to have for your feet, once the transmission cover is on the floor. Oh, and for what it's worth, in the UK, the bonnet would be the hood. That trunk lid would be the boot lid. Interesting evolution of words. You can see that both hood and bonnet more or less came from the same concept ... something that covered your head. On the other hand, while "trunk" makes a lot of sense as that came from a steamer trunk mounted on the rear, boot is a bit more convoluted. My understanding ... from looking into it because I was curious ... wat that it came from a French word, that sounded a lot like boot, which was originally a sideways seat inside a carriage. Over time it became a storage box as well and eventually ended up outside on the rear of the carriage. Makes a lot more sense, once you know where the word came from. Oh, and the the fenders would be called wings. 🙂
Rabblewitz hello! We are still waiting on the missing fiberglass firewall and assuming it may end up as a composite sheet metal and glass to suit our needs. That said it will be formed to maximize comfort. With a small block Chevy and a TH350 transmission hopefully this will not be an issue for room. It is always good to learn some history. As a 'foreign' car mechanic in the late fifties I worked on many English vehicles and was familiar with the body part terms. I was busy at the time trying to keep my thumb from in front of the lens. 😏 I shared your comments with Lou and we both had a 'Senior' moment laughing at our fading memories! 😄 Part 6 coming soon. Thank you for your interest and comments! Bob
There’s a fellow over here (England) that’s a dab hand with these Anglia’s. The sad thing is I don’t no his details to pass to you. His last project was going to have an hyabussa engine. His name is Wayne Clark. I don’t no if you can find any of his work on other formats. But you look like your doing well. Will you be framing the body out with tube?. Keep up the good work and sharing this project.
Johnnie hello! One thing we have identified is we will need hardware for both doors including hinges, and latches. Also same for the rear trunk lid. As we progress we will identify more , I am sure. My project email is: Anglia_Rodder@yahoo.com thank you for your offer to help! Bob
Was LMAO....when Bob said beats seating in the porch on a rockin chair.....keep at guys it coming along nicely....🙂👍🙏
liking your built a big thumbs up .
Very professional job LOU is doing on the English Fordpop 👍👍👍
Lots of decisions to make, it’s good there’s no hurry.
Thanks for sharing your passion.
Been looking forward on a update. Looking pretty sweet. Can't wait to see more.
I'd channel it by a good 5-6 inches. Just have a sill inside the door.

👍👍
If possible if you go to see origin Anglia I’d love to have a video on that as your checking it out
have you thought about the body mount bushings? That would raise the body at least 1"
You need to mount the door so you can see if the floors gonna clear the inside of the doors.

I have to agree on that thought.👍

Is that fibre glass? I've got a make with an all metal 48 Anglia running 350 Chevy 4 inch roof chop. In Australia
My dad ordered a rare car book off the dark web, and today he got a box with an ear in it

O by the way if you like, check out any of the popstalgia you tube films. And outlaw anglias, drag racing.
The body needs to channel down over the frame.
At least 3 to 4 inches.
if ya need parts let me know im based in UK
Im currently building an ex stock car anglia e04a into a hot rod metal body in the UK
