Hi everyone
Another week and I've managed to do the update on the Friday as promised!!
This week has been an interesting week with progress again being made, but once again not where it was expected.
We were hoping that the body frame would have been finished and the rear part of the body tub laminated into place. However the changes we've made to the seat belt anchorage points affected the fitting of the rear of the tub and so a few changes were required.
Having collected the rear of the tub from the fibreglass specialist we then set about redesigning it. So you collect a single piece and within a few hours it has become 4 separate parts that then require reshaping and then returning to the specialist for another mould to be made.
At that point you have to find 'other' things to be getting on with or grind to a stand still.
So we looked at all manner of issues that resulted in us modifying the scuttle, which in turn meant taking it back to George the fibreglass man for a new mould!
I've spent quite a bit if time this week visiting and talking to George, but I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.
Next week we will press on with the body build and look at making the louvred side panels and the split bonnet so there should be plenty to update on.
All in all I would say a good week with some major issues having been resolved. At this moment we remain on target and will be back next week to provide another update.
See you all soon
Geoff
