not long now before i can fire it up for the first time. thanks for your comments , more soon
It's an amazing piece of work. Hope the holidays were enjoyable with the family as well..
That's bloody gorgeous!
Amazing work...give yourself a very big pat on the back!
(I'm actually 49 shades of green with envy at your skills and craftsmanship! Bloody gorgeous!)
Great fab work on that tank! I bet you're really excited to fire it off!
This would make one hell of a kit!
Had you made all parts and dimensions in CAD, you could turn a nice profit for sure, just selling the design specs.
I'd love to know how you designed the frame for the jag components. It's obvious you aren't guessing at anything.
I'd also like to see the equipment your'e using to fab the panels, if you can snap a few pics.
thanks for the comments guys, firing it up is real close now.
the basic frame was done on cad at work so would be very easy to make more ( cut on a tube lazor ) the only thing i would not be so sure on is this car was designed around the wheel size, engine placement so to change any part would mean the frame would have to be changed to suit. the biggest part to me that was designed into the chassis is the 1 inch drop from the rear to the front of the outer rail were it meets the cills, this gives the body the nose down stance but with out the chassis rake.

big steps are now being made. 95% of the brake pipes are in and the flexes are made up and ready to install.

also reshaped the rear side window trim and moved the door glass support bar closer to the front of the door as i intend to run a one piece window that will do away with the quarter light.

Okay, this is my second attempt at a reply so here goes again.
Will there be a cover like a dash panel over the heater and brake lines ?
It was funnier the way I had asked last time but this bloody site is still playing up and giving me the shits.
I realise I should wait for your next update to see the finished deal so just forgive me please.
