Very nice I assume with the width of the tunnel its a wider chassis or do you just have tiny feet

Nice, But aren't you gonna weld the suspension brackets on before you paint it?

Its the same width as the haynes roadster chassis but the tunnel is wider. I drove a formula silverstone last weekend which has the same amount of room in the footwell and i coped alright

I havent been able to make them jet (see other post) so i thought it would be easier to paint the middle and back on my day off in the sunshine and just paint the front when i have got the brackets.

Nearly at that stage myself, but bearing in mind your choice of engine, do you think you may need a bit more bracing than TR1 can provide? Now I have no knowledge of beam theory (bought a good book, but almost died when I tried to read it)... but if you have a look at this thread
http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3478
scroll down to seven sw... what do you think to their replacement. Might be something to think about.

Dog enginned car...

Whats the conversion factor from dog power to horse power....
And we better not talk about reving the nuts of the engine

don't want to pee on your bonfire... but there's a bit to go before it's finished... add all the brackets before you paint ...

nose cone mounts , centre prop bearing, tsteering column mounts and on and on and on...

I've read the horror stories re grinding off the powder coat...

looks good though...
