It's back to that familiar feeling of 3 steps forwards and 2 back at the moment.
Firstly the web site hosts crashed earlier in the week so the site was not accessible. That appears to have been sorted out now.
The patterns for the windscreen feet did not survive the process and so have been remade and returned to the foundry. We will find out on Tuesday whether they have made it this time.
We have had the wings delivered and we are very happy about the quality and so are looking at other parts of the car that could also be fibreglassed in the future.
The steering column has been fitted so that I can finish the design of the dash and ensure we are complying with the SVA requirements.
I was not happy with some of the door issues and so they have been remade and returned for new molds to be taken.
The paint shop was full and so the car won't be heading off for an engine bay colouring until next week.
The gearbox cover and prop shaft tunnel have been fabricated and are waiting to head off to the fibreglass shop for molds and so real progress has been made in several areas.
With luck next week we will finalise all panels, molds etc and work will then continue on completing the chassis to a fully rolling chassis with engine gearbox etc all fitted so that when the body returns form the paintshop it can be fitted straight onto the chassis and then the remainder of the car can be built.
I suspect some late evenings next week to keep on track but what else could you be doing on these long dark cold winter evenings?
See you next week
Geoff
