Good start, but a way to go yet. Don't get discouraged, just keep at it. Best of luck, Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

It's always good to see someone starting a chassis.
Good luck with your build.

Steel tube on a wooden board, great stuff I'm missing it already (although not that far beyond it myself )
Good luck with it.
Cheers
Alex
PS
Is it +4 or +442?

Do you have your engine yet? If not, don't fully weld your engine support bits yet ("G" tubes, I believe). You'll find that
the book shows them in 2 different places, according to which diagram you look at!
Also, don't weld in the "FU" tubes until you're setting up the front suspension mounts.
Apart from that, have fun!

One word....: Mcsorley!!!
The book is full of errors so goto http://www.mcsorley.net to download a correct chassis plan.
Secondly... the more attemtion to detail you pay now in making the chassis straight the easier, faster, better the end processes (like bodywork) will
be.
HTH,
James
