Two pronged question?
 

Dry build is going well and when someone explains how to get pickies from a camera onto these pages i will post the progress. Once the book chassis is constructed is there anything else that needs to be welded onto the basic chassis? The reason for asking is i want to send it off for powder coating and would be gutted to have to start tacking bits on after. Second question is about the book exhaust bracket coming from under the chassis, it looks a little on the lean side and fatigue prone, have there been any problems with the design?

Bob:confused:

Well I wish I hadn't painted mine due to the number of small changes / fixes I've had to make, especially around my steering :( Your's I can imagine though will probly be spot on!

if your powder coating i would fully build then strip it down

It's the only way whatever finish you intend really as nowt more frustrating than having to chip off p/coating or paint to weld a bracket on as you always notice it even if nobody else does...:(
