I was aware of it, but not actually watching. Interesting, though, I could see myself getting something from you eventually. When are you going to do some suspension components, you could corner the market.

i saw the chassis but am surprised it didn,t sell as its a very good price :confused: :cool:

looks tidy too.

just had a thought,

maybe it did sell by placing orders for the same chassis.

if you managed to sell any then congratulations, its a very good price for the new builder to start their build from. :cool:

I'm planning on starting on some wish bones mon-tues. I'm making a tube holder (not my idea I must admit) that will go in the tool post of the lathe to cut the fish mouths with a milling cutter to the correct angles.

Thats a good price but id have thought you would finish the rear end and put the steering column support on.

where you when i started my build
that would of saved a lot of work

hi guys
just a heads up really
if you are building a chassis and INTEND to use FABBY,s side panels
you might consider a mod to the steering column support so you dont have to cut a lump out of your nice new shiny side panel
Fabby recomends stepping the outer leg of the support in by 25 mm for a nice smooth line

The idea of producing such a basic chassis was that the difficult or daunting part of the chassis build was out of the way. Not every body that builds 'their own' car wants to spend money on Fabby's body work and may go down other avenue's of styling or just buy from many of the other manufactures.
In an hour of discussion with two locost builders we came up with 25-30 different stages of build,engine,gearbox,seatbelt,rollbar,fuel tank conbinations and it's just not feasable to cater for every option off the shelf.
Look at places like McDonalds who sell 6-10 simple meals and their turn around time during lunch. How long would you have to wait if they had 200 things on the menu?
How many tales of woo have you heard about waiting for parts or the chassis,would'nt you just like to get on with building 'your' car? Buy a cheap correctly made chassis and a second hand MIG welder, learn some basic welding on the less essential parts of the build then sell the welder and get your money back. At the end of it you can stand back and say 'I BUILT that!'

Would have to say that that is a very good point.
