Thanks again for the replies :D Been working on the engine and trans small details which are about finished.I have test fitted the body work a few times and it seems to fit pretty good so far,going to keep my fingers crossed.Have to get the 2 rear body panels installed so can finish up the rear suspension and that will complete all the mechanical stuff.

Regards,Gary

Superb build. Having built one of these I certainly know the challenges. Beware of the body work, that was my final disappointment. You might want to consider displaying it with the body on a stand. Your bare chassis is a work of art.

All 4 corners are finished......Yeah!!! this car has been a challenge but that is what we build for.The rear suspension was real tricky to assemble,would not go on the car the way instructions call for and ended up removing 1 of the pins on the spindle and replacing with a screw.Here are some pic's of the progress,enjoy.

Regards,Gary
