Marek, what material are your chassis rails made from? Leading question relating to tools to do the same, If you can tell the hole sizes you might want to use too.

If you do Marek give me a shout. I may have the correct tools to do swaged holes. Tool required to go with them is a spanner.

Looking good Marek. I loved the video, interesting and informative. The quality of work is good and the progress is coming on fast. I look forward to when we are on the race track together.
If you can drive round corners, you're not going fast enough.

Thank you. Drivetrain is one of the big things still to decide on but most other things i just need to design details or just get on with it. In the current situation progress should be much faster and i should have a video about the second half of the steering up before the end of the week

Another great video MAREK, using the string to get the profiles is very clever. The build is progressing nicely. Looking forward to the next VIDEO.

Hi Marek, great progress and you have inspired me to attack the rear section of the Morgan. Have you thought a way with the slot type system to cope with the curved body sides in plan. I can see this works really well for straight lines, but can't figure the curved ones unless you only use it for making a first former then use the old fashioned bendy batten to pull the curve. Help!

Im not sure what you mean by curved body sides. the parts which are always attached at the bonnet are in straight lines and the curves are all linear on the bonnet and around the cockpit. I would love to find a solution though :)

Ok thanks Marek, everything I build seems to have very few straight lines! Always a slight curve in every plane like a boat. I was hoping I could latch onto the slots and strings method, but seems like I'm back to a fairing batten. It looked so sensible!

you could always use the idea of a long piece of plywood or something to give you the curves and put it into slots in the same manner
