Default Hodgson's Newbies!

Hi all, Firstly would like to say some of your cars look fantastic! We are all
New to the car building world.

There are 4 of us at work who have decided to make one each!, so far we have cut all the chassis steel made a couple of jigs and tacked the first chassis base together,

We all work at an engineering firm who's boss has kindly allowed us to use the workshop to build the cars in our spare time, we are all welder/fabricators so have some knowledge of the fabricating side of things but limited on the engine, wiring etc... Any help or tips would be really appreciated,

Hopefully get some pictures on here soon,
Hope to hear from some of you guys
The hodgson's lads!!!

Smile Welcome chaps

Welcome to the new crew

Going to be megga fun having 4 builds on the go & great idea it is too.

Only 1 build table to mark out & 1 set of jigs to make

I am sure that by the time the fist chassis is complete the other 3 will come together very quickly.

Good oportunity to haggle a good discount when it come to buying 4 lots of build components

Looking forward to following your progress.
