I do enjoy all the automotive build programs . Just started watching Speed is New Black - and was a bit let down with the TR-# "build" ?? That Triumph can fly with the right real power . Back in early 70's I bought a 59 TR-3 for $200 with a junk engine . Had some Chevy small block parts laying about so installed a 283 SB , T-10 4 speed . Engine was basic with Duntov 30-30 cam and single 4 BBL . Used stock TR-3 rear end . made my own drive shaft . Cut back firewall , No room for headers so stock cast iron exhaust . Used 14 in Mustang wheels as needed wider rubber to get SOME traction . NOTHING could catch this thing . Real ticket getter . Sold for $1880 . Yes it too was BRG but painted it Yellow with Standard Brands automotive paint . Still have pictures . I don't believe in purchasing "KIT" stuff rather build it my self .
Keep up the good show as it will inspire others to build their own "dream machine" >>>Gary
