Default Rolling chassis at last!

Hi all
Just wanted to share the good news that i have finally got to the rolling chassis stage of my build.
I started with the armoto flat pack and along with purchases from john at 3ge and andy at saturn progress has slowly been made.
Hopefully i will be able to add a picture but if not i will get one added asap.
I would like to say a huge thanks to handyandy, without whose generosity i would still be sat with no welder and a large pile of metal box section and assorted tubes and plates.

Finally got pics attached now....

Well done, rolling chassis is always a good achievement when you can push it along.

Be nice to see some pics.....

I can well imagine the sense of achievement that you are feeling

Personally that was a huge milestone in my build, one I might add, would never of happened if it wern't for the support of this forum

nice one, Im building a trike using roadster wishbones etc, but I can fully understand the excitement, I had been dragging along doing bits here and there, then came the day that it was off the jig, down on 3 wheels and wheeled it ouside, now theres a flurry of work going on.

strange but you seem to get a new burst of energy when projects start to actually look like something

Looking good there, I love the road sign, usually an indication of a good night out

The door does look a bit small, still there's that guy who built a Lambo replica in his basement, the used a digger to dig it out

Kind regards

John

LOL I seen that site, was forwarded to me by a mate that remembered the weekend that I finished my BSA A10 restoration

not only was it in my living room, but I lived on 3rd floor of a converted victorian house ooops

that was the scariest most stressful 2 hours of my life, but we got it out the house.
