this is the latest from a bit of a local legend, clive "chopper" hobbs has built tons of hot rods, and minis, as well as various other weird and wonderfull contraptions. i just thought i would share these couple of snaps with you that i took when he popped into work today to borrow a wheel brace.

interesting features are obviousy the 3"/3" chop top and bottom, the all steel pear shaped bulge in the bonnet over the carb, the aluminium arches, and those sexy 6x10 cosmics.

if all those things done do it for you, there is a pic of his massive dog, which believe me really is much bigger than he looks in this picture!

here is a link to his own site, great bloke, very modest, and a real character!

You have to admire the skills it takes to build a replica of a Sprint

That thing is LOW! regular sprints only have a body chop correct?

Regular Sprints are both sectioned and roof chopped.

just a body chop is a mini-minus i believe, and usually fibreglass. it does mean you can keep all the standard glass though, which makes life easier

Here's a Mini Minus for comparison

Love the sprint

Hate the minus
