Help wanted (x2) - Chassis build advice & Photo upload advice!
Hi ALL,
I'd like to get the combined effort/advice from the forum about the Locost chassis I am building, as I'm getting closer to being finished
with the main part of it (just 4 or 5 tubes left). But, I'm worried that I'm forgetting some super important bracket, or tube, or
whatsa-mi-callit, or thingy-ma-bob etc. etc.
Basically, I have built a few cars in my time, but nothing for Quite a few years, but this will be the last (performance) car that I will ever build,
so I'd Really like it to be a good one...
So, I'd appreciate a multitude of eyes looking over it, as it's always better to get a Group opinion...
However, I don't know how to post photos on here from my Google Photo Archive.
And, I'm definitely not downloading them one at a time, as there's hundreds! 
If anyone could help me solve the photo upload issue, I'd dearly love to get advice on the chassis............
Thanks in advance,
Steve

You can normally set up a Google folder for ready only access, that would probably be the easiest. But I think you'd get better feedback on a
curated set of photos.
I've never been able to upload photos to here, even photo links seem challenging lately.

If you upload photos to your Locostbuilders Photo Archive they have to be:
1. Below a certain file size
2. Uniquely named compared to all other images already on Locostbuilders
Most users Photo Archive's seem to have been built up over time, not in a mass upload.

Yes it does, although there's lots of 'work in progress' pictures so it's difficult to see what you want us to look at? I'm
not entirely sure what order they're in?

(Second attempt at replying, first one seemed to just disappear....)
I've been building a 'simple' Haynes Roadster for years now. One thing that holds me up is "trying to get it right first time; to
avoid having to undo/redo stuff". I've tried to 'build the whole car' as I go - thinking about seatbelt mounts at the same time as
pedal box positioning/etc/etc. And fitting the engine/gearbox and diff, expecting they'll now never come out again. So, for example, I fully
painted the chassis years ago, and since have drilled holes endlessly to fit panels; brackets; etc. The car has never run under it's own steam,
but I have the bodywork loosely fitted (as the best place to store it) and have had for years.
In hindsight, if i'd worked purely towards a 'fully working car' in the sense of brakes/steering/engine - then gone back to put in seat
/ panelling/ bodywork afterwards things like "have I missed a bracket" would not really be an issue. I'd be expecting to get the car
fully 'working' - then strip down to completely bare chassis, paint it, and do a final 'build' as though it really were 'a
kit'....
Maybe approaching it this way will help avoid your problem?
