A good week this week. The screen feet have been returned from the foundry. They survived the process and now need cleaning and polishing in order that they can be recast in brass. 1 - 0
The doors, gearbox cover and tunnel have been completed to our satisfaction and sent back to the fibreglass firm for new molds to be made. 2 - 0
My towing vehicle breaks down just as I need it to take the body to the painters for the engine bay to be painted 2 - 1
One of the members comes to our assistance and the car is still delivered to the paint shop 3 - 1
The front and rear suspensions are fitted, as is the engine 4 - 1
The isuzu is still broken and no-one seems able to fix it. 4 - 2
Have visited the paint shop and the colour looks good, the painting is excellent and so we look forward to its early return next week by which time the chassis will be completed so the body can be attached and the build continue.
What more can I say, we are close to the planned timeline for the build and things are still going better than I could have expected.
See you next week.
Geoff
