Alan is easy to deal with on the phone and has plans for an aero screen and other bits when he gets some free time!

The guy at agm is a great help. I had him running about measuring bits and pieces, nothing seemed to much trouble and the bodywork is pretty close to the saturn set up. He reckoned three to four weeks delivery, thats not bad.

The way the bonnet scuttle and nose fit together should give really tight and sharp join lines to.

Perhaps i've missed something - but the scuttle is 1135 wide, and is 'a butt fitting and doesn't overlap'... How does that work when the chassis in the book is 1118 wide?

Ah - i'd assumed 'do not overlap' meant - doesn't overlap the top chassis rails. Perhaps it means the bonnet doesn't overlap the scuttle, or nosecone at either end...
