Yes so far so good, need to organise the tubes tomorrow lol took ages to find the ones i needed coz there was so many lol

The sizes you have cut so far have got straight on the build board, haven't even needed a file lol!!

Looking forward to tomorrow, got to sort out getting gas for my welder. Then there's nothing stopping me lol

Not doing bad considering i started this less then a month ago!!

You may need to run a file over some of the cut burrs, I left the rear tub frame tubes extra long to allow for adjustment to the dimensions of the wider chassis.

at this rate , you,ll be finished before me

yes, there,s alot of tubes..........i,ve cut 4 kits in the last 13 days

enjoy your build

cheers

yes, i,m building my own car at the moment, have a look at the thread "big day" in the chassis section, thats me, lots of photos in the thread.

I also make parts for lots of folks cars , along side Spud at Saturn Sorts Cars

Your kit is number 16 that i have cut, thats the beauty of the Roadster, they are all based on the same design but allow each builder to "personalise" their own car in some way.

cheers
andy
