Thats some epic bodywork fair play.
how many hours have u in it.

[Rosco]

Only just read through your build, cracking! Love the bodywork, sort of wishing i had of gone the aluminium route!

Cheers everyone for the comments. Garyt I think an alloy nose is a bit beyond my metal working skills I think I'll end up making a glass fibre one. I thought it would only take me a couple of weeks to do the body work Steve but that was two months of evenings ago and I've still got a fair bit to do yet. I'll get some more pics up as soon as I can.

Ah you have to make an ali nose cone after all that work

[robj]

Maybe I have a go. I'll have to see if I can improve my skills first though, it's the curves on more than one plane that'll make it difficult for me.

that car is screaming to be all alloy. if it was me and i couldnt make the nose i would pay someone to make it.
the sevenspot page on facebook has some really stunning all alloy cars that appear on it

I will +1 on the alloy nose although I would love to sell you a nose I would like to see you car finished how it should be an all alloy will look awesome

LOL yeah that could be an issue

[robj]

I think I might try my luck and have a go but I don't have worry about it for a bit need to get it back as a rolling chassis first so I can make a buck.
