For a home fabricated car this guy has got me fired up at V8 MGB GT are you kidding me 1974 this guy is on an entirely different level kudos to the to this Builder kudos to this
Great to see the MG marque is being kept alive in the States, our biggest market for British sports cars when I worked at MG, Abingdon, the true home of the MG. Love what the guy has done to the GT. The B and the GT needed a bigger more powerful engine but they wasn't going to happen with Lord Stokes running British Layland.
What a stunning car! It must be a thrill to take it out to drive and especially to show it. Its profile is unforgettable, and the details of it's fit and finish, inside and out, are super fine. I love that car!
I really appreciate the way you looked at the car and 'corrected' mistakes in the design - like the vertical bars in the radiator grill, smoothing out the headlamps,, and extending the rear mudguards. That feature really makes the car. Well done!
People vote with their dollar. Of course, this means that people hold on to what good cars they have, so manufacturers simply stop building cars altogether. Rather than innovate, and try to regain interest, "oh well, what IS selling? Trucks and SUVs? Ok, let's just make ours as close looking as our competition. Play it safe. Don't try for a home run, just get on base."
I designed a custom interior for a converted Rubber Bump GT to a pre 73 Roadster many years ago. The guy shoe horned in the awesome 3.5 litre Rover V8 (used in Police Pursuit cars) cut the injectors down, leaving a slight bulge as not to ruin the look of the original car. He bottled it (got scarred for you Americans) at 160 Mph. On the way to the work shop he was blown off by a Volvo T5.... he not only caught it, but blasted passed it... It's the only MGB to my knowledge painted in true "BENTLY" racing green, somehow he got the paint codes from Rolls Royce.
Krykies! Michigan has so many great events and car shows it boggles the mind lol. In fact the entire upper Midwest has it goin on lol. Another great episode and have to say I love MG’s and sleeper cars lol. I grew up at a time when people were still driving the cars they had bought a few years earlier and we always called them “Land Yachts” they were so big lol. I have great memories of my mom’s 69’ Mercury Montego with the massive engine lol
Great to see the 'like' numbers up from older shows. This is a very well produced channel. Never get to see This stuff in Blighty. (OK, maybe the Reliant 3 wheeler)!
Nice to see a Reliant Robin! Wonder how it made it to the US? I used to pass by the factory on the way to work in Tamworth in the 90s - UK. Great video. :-)
I used to be on the pit crew for a 63 MGB convertible called "Killa Bee" that raced SCCA. Also my Grandfather had a Falcon almost exactly like the one featured in this video less the V8. Same color but just a base car.
Yup those are some awesome car's the little MG has to be a small rocket car that is a super cool build. I'm wondering what that guy is working on next I know he's not going to build that one awesome car and stop right with that one.
Waited a while to post this video, ehhh? As a Michigander I know for a fact the weather in the UP isn't that nice in February. There is probably 2 feet of snow right now.
wow the angry bee stole my heart. i thought it was a datsun based on the thumb nail. which would be ok as well. impressive cars!!!! amazing what people can do.
Man, i wish these video`s were longer. I`m hoping and praying i can build my 2003, S-10 some day soon. I love American Muscle Cars. It`s who we are,,,,,, I used to have a 1969 Ranchero, with a built 351 Windsor i built myself. It was the 1st car i bought at age 16 in 1982, and i kept it up until 2004 then i got sick and had to sell it. I miss that ole car.
Too bad. I know many who have sold there first ride and their favorite ride. Big mistake.😱 Mee toooo. I daily drive my 60 yr old restomod I've had 30 yrs... But it's not the same..
My dad had one pic me up day I was born in a new 1967 was on the 13 07'67 was a 18 bgt fantastic cars glad u guys like them in USA I'm grant from the UK
Great job my first car was a purple v8 MGB GT I drove to southern Spain on “L” plate 😂😎. Nice presentation pal. Great vid. Thanks for the memory! Some great cars at this show 👍
Can someone plz tell me what that is@ 1:05; the "futuristic space rocket like fins" w/ the spare & bumper reminds me of a Chrysler of that era but the whole car looks kinda small-ish to be that. Maybe it's just the camera setup but???
The little Falcon was one we didn't get in that form in Australia. We only had 4 doors for the first 2 models and then we had some 2 door pillarles models until 66 and then we went back to 4 doors all the way up until 72 when we got some more 2 doors which lasted until 78.
Yep always wanted to do a V8 swap on my XM or XP Falcons, sleeper style like that one, ended up doing a 250 cid swap instead extractors and twin system sounded like a V8, and went pretty hard.
Eh..A Lincoln V-12? Let's get rid of that. Who needs a Lincoln V-12? That's not what I want to hear start up. Let's put a 460 under the hood instead with a hubcap on the top. From here on, I'm Putting hubcaps on the tops of all my engines. And on top of that I'm picking the rarest of my cars.

I have to agree, I think the MGB GT is about my favorite car in this segment, but they're all top shelf!
We used to put SBC in the them. It was a cobra thing to do.😁😁
What a bad ass MG with a 8 carb coyote motor damn cool .
U gotta point. All metal, AND those bends looked Crisp.
That MG was a work of art!

Was honored to have my Zephyr on the show. First time to St. Ignace, great place for a car show, met many friendly people, had a wonderful time!

Thanks guys, give me 15 years to do something and I'm bound to get some things right.
david wayne very nice ride!!! Love the top of the breather. The rest was very very nice but I’m simple. Again nice ride.
Your Zephyr is truly a work of art.
LOVE the Sport Fury! I'm a huge Max Wedge fan. The little sleeper Falcon was nice also.
30yrs I've been wanting to do something like that to an mgbGT. Well done sir. My "compact" dream-build.
This killer Bee car is simply brilliant. Outstanding work!
@aranphor The rear sphincter is definitely vibrating on launch...lmbo
He said 2300 pounds !!?
Ouch x 3
I have a 73 Midget, but I've always wanted a MGB GT
Greetings from Russia;)Great video 👍 as always

Serious MG build, that man has some skills is right. Incredible car, hats off, well done.
That mgb is awesome. I want to build one soon as I can.
Wow that MG looks amazing
wow they used to make beautiful cars now it's boring office credit pukers

Love the hub cap air cleaner lid idea!
Who else was prepared for boring LS swaps in the MGB and Lincoln Zypher? A Coyote swap in an MG? Are you serious? Love it!
Purrrrrrrrrr MGB GT 1974 off the hook Majorally
Sleeper 1961 absolutely gorgeous for Ford falcon
What a nice bloke..genuine enthusiasm 👏😊🇬🇧
Been going to the annual Dayton British Car Show in Ohio for many years now and I have NEVER seen anything like this!
What an amazing creation!
Wow, Dennis, another awesome episode! I always look forward to seeing new segments of your show. Best wishes from the Philippines!

The drop top rocket , I'm glad they kept with Olds power the torque on those 394's were beautiful in those stock .
For anyone who missed the number, this car weighs about what a large NFL player weighs and with that motor, what a rocket!
Gorgeous, in every way. I’ve been there many times and had some of the times of my life up there. One of your best episodes.
only the Americans could call falcon a compact LOL

I need my drool rag
MCC on a Saturday morning. On a cold ugly rainy day here but I got a car show right here.
It just goes well with morning eggs and fresh brewed coffee.
Next year I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out for ya at the st ignace carshow
Very amazing cars un this vídeo. Thanks to search.
That Max Wedge Sport Fury & "Gentleman's Rocket" 98 were really nice - & could possibly blow your doors off if you underestimate them.
One of the best UA-cam channels on UA-cam I give you four stars
wowwww.. amazing car.
Not a Ford guy but their DOHC V8 sound so
Awesome MG, should be in all car magazines!
Dennis, if you are such a "green color" fan, why don't you wear a green mustache to these car shows to better identity your taste.
...just saying 😊
Can't beat that car show in St. Ignace!!
I rode around in a '67 MGB GT a whole lot when I was a teenager. Man this pumped up GT is one of the sickest coolest cars I have seen! Awesome!
I had an 1977 MG midget as well.
A Lot of Nice cars and a Lot of boomers
Jendza Polish Surname
Got the (2) decals - thanx !

I love the widebody fenders on that MGB GT. And I've never seen a more detailed and beautiful Olds 98 droptop. The '38 Zephyr is no slouch either.
Really really cool card love to try something like that would be fun thanks Dennis 4 sharing
Watching Dennis Gage on a Sunday afternoon is always nice, and that Lincoln Zephyr seem it would go faster in reverse.
🔔 Haven't been there since 93.
Where's my calendar???
😁😁😁😁😁
l love the Oldsmobile.
Love American cars from the 60s & 70s.
Awesome video thank you
I'd love to see that MG turn up at an MG owners club in the UK they'd freak
Not that it’s a car show, but I think that you should go to the Richard Crane Memorial Truck Show, which is also in St. Ignace.
Great place for a car show. I’ve been going since ‘97.
Holy mackerel!
Thank you for sharing and going to let us see.... beautiful steel in deed
Mgb is the bomb
holy mackerel
Another great episode!

Blew the Bs nearly perfect 51-49 weight distribution to hell... ya need close to 200 lbs of ballast in the rear...

I had an 1973 MGB-GT. Loved it!
That MGB,
I'd put a BMW ///M inline 6 in it.
Still a beautiful car, and probably fast AF.
Vos reportages sont MAGNIFIQUES 💚💚💚💚💚
Very beautiful amazing cars wow amazing colours

looks more like a well made "buttercup"....tbh
mgbGT>>Rover P series!
Kinda green? That's Carolina Blue. Not even remotely green.
WOOOOOW!!!
When does this show take place? I live in Michigan and never heard of this show but would love to attend.
The Last weekend in June.
dont get to see many cars.
Where is this town so I know where to go.
The very top of lower Michigan where the bridge divides the Great Lakes.
Between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, on the north side of the bridge.
So sad you tend to ignore all the great street rods. Why show so many in the background if you don't like to show them?
When was/ is this show?!
mkphc The last weekend in June.
Dennis you need to take a cue from Lou C who ALWAYS shows appreciation for commenters. NEVER saw you like or reply to a comment
Then you’re not looking too closely because most are liked and many are replied to. Just sayin’.
