Well after a hugely long time of research, indecision, having no where to physically build the thing, i've started the physical construction of the chassis. Took a two days off work and the weekend and have built from the front frame to just before the seat back. I'm hoping that the weekend will be free so i can get the seat back frame and transmission tunnel in place. Anyway, threads are boring without pictures, so here goes (if i can make it work)

Build table ready to go. Dad's 1918 Model T in the background, so two cars being built at once, althought his is only missing the planetary gearset in the steering wheel. PS if anyone knows of some decent quality ones somewhere, drop me a line.

A mostly correct bottom frame. Made a mistake with the positioning of the engine support rails. All fixed now.
