Front arches on.





I need to get the car out so I can tweak their position but other than powder coating they're done. Just waiting for rear arches now. I've been informed they're on their way as the last pair went missing so these will hopefully be on this week. I m hoping for a nose cone in the near future too which once here I'll then make a scuttle frame and crack on from there.

Hi guys,

could anyone please measure the radius of their bonnets and scuttles please? Also, the height of the scuttles leading and rear edges?

Hi,

I don't know if you will find all the measurements you need there, but here is a link to 3D drawings with main measurements I have done several years ago for Equinox.

Hope that will help

Considering I had no bodywork available when fitting my engine and so on it all fits together rather well






That radiator is in a good position too. I'm hoping to finalise a structure under the scuttle this week ready to house the electrics and then I'll get on with the lights. I'm also going to go with a grp dash as well as I'm feeling lazy. I have an aero screen on order too.

The dash panel I bought it too narrow though and is probably for a locost so I need to decide how to address this. I don't fancy buying another so will either modify this or make my own.
