Sounds good... How about posting your pics in your archive on this site (everyone has one).

Sounds great... Keep it up..

Don't know about windy loughborough but we'll be starting to think you're pretty windy if you don't let us see the chassis and drive train installation soon.

Cheers

Ooo I like the use of psycology in an effort to hurry me up. Ha Ha

Just be patient, all good things etc, it will be worth the wait I can assure you of that

I`m off to see TrevD this weekend with some renderings for the nosecone, so I`ll post them and the chassis (CAD) next.

Hi Stuart

Take my comment any way you want. In your introduction post you said:
quote:

The car itself is a mid-mounted V12 in a space frame chassis (designed by me and built with some help by my welding friend (Station Motor Sport, Market harborough).


This created an expectation that the chassis at least exists in the metal.

Cheers

Yes, the chassis does exist in metal! I`m just waiting on a few final parts to have a complete rolling chassis! ....top wishbones, wheel bolts, odds and sodds...the usual.

As I said before the car lives 35 minutes away from me.

So believe what you want my friend, no skin off my nose!

I think the silence says it all.
Pluss the fact that that merc engine would surely blow his budget alone!!

What's interesting, the car itself or the lack of pictures and info?
