Cheers guys, I'm a little nervous about doing the lines if im honest! I know it has to be spot on so I'm taking my time (or putting it off!) I think thats a job that I will have to delegate to my co-builder!

As for painting the chassis there is a powder coating company down the road. I might pay them a visit for a quote when the time comes.

Any more hints or tips then for getting the lines drawn on?

Cheers

Ryan.

Main thing is to make sure everything is square.
Don't assume your build table is.
Use diagonals to double check.
