Out of garage pics!

Got the car back on four wheels and pushed it out of the garage today - a bit of vitamin k won't harm it! I'm now in the process of dry assembly before making all those little bits to cover the IVA sharp edges! Bodywork is still a work in (not much) progress though!

nice what size tubing you used?

JC - 9/1/13 at 04:25 PM

Is is 50x50 square and 50 round for the main chassis rails, 25mm square for other bits and bobs (with a bit of 18mm square for good measure!)

What wall thickness? Those side rails look awfully long!

JC - 9/1/13 at 06:05 PM

All 16g. It seems pretty rigid so far, if you jack up a corner, the whole car lifts onto the opposite wheel!

Looks good, hope there,s a roll bar to go on.

Yep, got 2 roll hoops. Saving them for a 'topping out' ceremony when there is no other welding to do!!!!

whats the screen deflector off?

JC - 9/1/13 at 10:41 PM

Not sure to be honest - a £3 steal from a bike store at the Newark auto jumble. I hope to use it as a mould to make a pair - they are below eye line so don't need to be clear. I'll then use a vertical blade, like on the atom to keep the actual wind off. Probably....

if you made 3 I may take one off you...

I'll try...like all of this I've never done it before so it will be a voyage of discovery!!!!
