It is a sin, because my '66 would loose a relative...!

No Mr. Costello is not a sinner...at that time it is cool to do that. But
I don't feel it is cool to do that to an MGB anymore unless you find an
engine/trans-less body shell or build on from a new body shell..then it is ok.

I know what a Cobra is and I know how Shelby is...and if he had any brains
he would have used a Chevy engine! (hehe, my opinion). Same goes for the
Sunbeam Tiger although that is a tried and true production car...isn't the
Cobra also? Didn't Shelby buy empty shells and then build it....or did he
gut each car and then build it? I think he opted for empty shells.

Exactly I thought a 4WD MG would be exactly that "neat" I would never want
to see it done unless to a scrap shell or a new body shell. Sorry I am
almost a full fledged purist...but I have no qualms about gutting rubber
bumper MGBs ;-)
