Apologies for the glare in the second pic..I'll try and get some without flash when it's daylight...

Bottom wishbones (in particular) are nice.

very nice work!

aaaahhhh!!! my eyes!! the glare

looked good

that chassis paint reminds me of the type used on aircraft undercarriage, good choice, makes it look very clean.

Looks very well

Another vote also for the chasis paint colour and finish - better than the ubiquitous Black IMHO.

Geez, all that looks as though it could have been made by someone who knows what they are doing! (Which wife is the engineer? )

Well done Alan!

Cheers,
Syd.

Very nice indeed.

Light grey is a good choice for prototypes and racers (for the same reason it's good on undercarriages ) easy to see any cracks or leaks.

Nice

Thanks guys, very positive feedback.....gives me great encouragement.

What's not clear from the pics is that the top wishbone is symetrical and the lower one is offset for castor. Next job will be fitting the caliper mounting plates (when they come in..a bit too thick for my plasma), then the hub unit.

yip keep it up, been a interesting project, glad to see the car will turn out a show stopper.

Thanks mate...yours aint bad either...

Soonish I guess...all relative I suppose...as I build up finally, for real as it were...I'm coming across lots of little finishing jobs I'd put off till now...

Oh well....it's getting there..
