Dave,
Being a relative newcomer, I flipped thru your past posts and see that you have done soup to nuts in just one year -- NOT BAD!!    A very
nice-looking car.
Steve,
C'mon now, you're being entirely too modest. Why don't you open up a new thread and put some big pictures up? Going back and forth
from a picture of a Morgan to your car, the proportions look very accurate. You've done a nice job adapting the ladder-frame design to space
frame. Bravo!
Pete

Cheers chaps
I'm not taking credit for the chassis, that would be cheating - (I took the line of least resistance and brought a rolling chassis as a
base.)
Damn it IS nearly a year now too..
Hope the photos help other people though.
Dan, HI!! Tonight? Bugger! Lateshift!
Details?

Please!
Don't give Steve another reason or excuse to post more about his build!
We can't get him to shut up!

now, there's a money making venture over winter.
Just beware. This cars gonna be heavy. It could be more of a car crusher than a snow plow.......
And it doesnt have brakes right now.
muhhhahhhhaaaaa
(time to see the 'act your age thread again methinks).....
Mr Pbura : I used a very high tech method. You print out a sideways picture of the real morgan car, and meaure it with a ruler and protractor! For
instance, the rear panel is 50 degrees.
The web site has been updated, and I will put a few piccys of the current build state in a seperate section soon.

Ah, yes, the same procedure can be used to borrow from the silhouette of a Seven built by a particularly well-known and litigious company. Phew!
Glad I'm not going to be doing it for a profit!

Bill j,
Thanks - kind words!
Its just listed as "blue" on my receipt.
It was Locost Ltd product but theyre gone now and Luego have theyre moulds and sell fibreglass bits in light or dark blue - mines their light blue.
