they need a fair bit of work to get them spot on (they have been racing) but gives me more inspiration, as i can see it looking more like a car. still, got to get them up on the loft tomorrow, as i can't move around the garage now...

Looking good
Are you going to race this or road it (or Both? ) as I'm sure I saw you mention SVA somewhere?
Or was that for something else?

Cheers

Alex

Who is the chassis made by ??? It looks very SHP to me.


blakep82 - 27/5/07 at 11:07 AM

^ it certainly is SHP (as i guess your peugeot hot rod in your avatar is?)

its only for the road, but i've been getting a lot of support from the racers, in particular Richard (one of the guys from team rogers racing, truck 69) whos been fantastic for finding me all the parts so far.

apparently lots of the drivers are talking about this truck. means a lot of pressure to get it done, and get it done properly

It's the BIL's old hatrod (must get a new avatar) and yes it was a SHP so was the last one, Now he has a Lulow tigra

started repairing the front valance today. removed all the ali plates rivited in to hold the cracks together and replaced them with fibre glass (never done any fibre glassing before...) Its a great feeling to start with something broken, remove the bits that temporarily repiared them, so it starts looking worse, and then get them looking better.

I keep meaning to take loads of photo's but i keep forgetting i should get someone to be my photographer!
