It has only been since May last year when I posted! Yes , it's happening again. The wheels, after my dynamic test (otherwise known as applying a moving 100 kg load to the centre, that means me jumping on them while they lay on the floor) are now almost fully painted.
I dreamed up a way to get the front spring horns following the inspiration, not totally but a "sort of following the original look" and that has been a real stall point, it's an important feature for me, so totally stopped the build. They were 60% made yesterday.
I have to make a new chassis, having given the old one to a member of the forum. I still don't weld, so that's still a decision to be made. Steel, or wood (the original car is a wooden chassis with about 12 litre engine, if steel, welded or bolted as per "Bentaxle" (USA) method, or wood that I know and can work with?
Most of the body was done previously and retained.
Engine, I have 2 and one TAV ready to go. It will have 2 brakes, each is a separate system and both non hydraulic. One is a drum from a Kawasaki, the other an Oke parts disc and caliper. The drum will have the mandatory handbrake.
Front axle, I have one ready to use, and another if the first exhibits some odd habits. Springs, I finally managed to get some, thanks to JimR for a method of adding front eyes, the rear end, like the original are "slipper".
