Tis quite a good idea Ginge

I like the whole concept of it, would provide a much better visualisation than the usual same ole, same ole ;)

I have visions of the local village idiot seeing the chassis being assembled & thinking........." That's given me a great idea...I'll bolt it all together " :eek: :D :D

Flat pack chassis & full plate kit on one display.

Fully welded chassis as a center piece, all ready for final assembly !!??

To have a stand you have to have insurance and I doubt insurance companies would cover anyone "building" a car in public. Not sure the show organisers would be too keen either especially the way folk claim for next to sod all these days.

Mark,

At the Land Rover show they did it in a largish tent and the public were behind barriers. They entered at one corner then walked around three sides of the tent, the boys working had all their gear against the fourth side. When welding or grinding went on mobile screens came out.

Now this was four years ago and they where sponsored by loads of companies not least Brit Part, who are huge.

I hear what you are saying though.

Cheers Ginge

Also imagine you come across a "stubborn bit" that just won't go together and you have to resort to "the hammer", now that wouldn't look too good in front of a crowd...:rolleyes:

Last year at Stoneleigh I took seats then some tit managed to hoof a great big scratch in one I then spent the rest of the show explaining why I was showing off a seat that looked like it had been "ploughed"..Bloke who did it din't even say sorry!
