A Learning experience

[RAYLEE29]

for ages id been calling mine a kit car now ive stopped and call it my chassis as i no longer think of it as a kit as ive made it all
sure ive been on it over a year now and it still hasnt sat on its wheels yet (still sat on two b/d workmates)
when i started i bought a locost nosecone that doesnt fit and a westfield scuttle that doesnt fit ive since bought a quantum rear end and adjusted the chassis to accept it
mine wont look like anyone elses and that is what makes it mine
and yes this forum is great and I met chris and ash at exeter and it really does feel like a community all of its own
even though I probably wont meet the majority of you I feel ive made some friends on here
and it all statred with a book from halfords

Ray, I've been on my for a year or so, on and off, and it isn't on wheels. It could be, but for the moment it is still on the build table, albeit now with a lot of the running gear and bodywork in various stages of completion.

I too have a nosecone that is currently being 'adapted' to fit, and was well pleased when the splash mould released for the first time, despite it being too cold for the resin, using out of date resin, and fibreglass tape rather than CSM (I had this lying around)

mm mine could sit on its wheels too and ive adjusted the nose cones width and the scuttle just find it easier to work on up in the air at the mo especially lifting the rear end on and off

I am exactly the same, it is a lot easier doing all this stuff at a nice height, although doing all the bodywork has taken it's toll on my freshly painted chassis!! I will need to blow it over with a couple more coats just before final fitting of everything
