Tiki - some work on the inside
A little progress on the inside....the tank and twin tunnel covers are due to ship today so should have these views for real next week. It's
amazing how much stuff depends on other stuff....To do the final build the chassis must painted...before that it must be finish welded...before that
every bracket must on...before that every bolt on component must be obtained or have good measurements of....etc...etc... of course you guys already
know all this......oh well won't be long now..
BTW the rear seats/tank cover moulding probably wont be C/F...it just looks nice on the rendering....

Looking excellent a very innovative project.
Only a suggestion but how about a little more triangulation on the floor either side of the drivers seat? Also have you considered a forward brace for
each roll bar on to the side protection bar?

Nice work 
Did you know your right rear tyre is the wrong way round  
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Thanks for the feedback guys. Some good ideas there.
Re: triangulation in general, there are definitely extra tubes still to go in...many will be figured after essential stuff has gone in.
Howlor, I did consider the forward braces from the roll bars but previous concensus voted no to those. However, I do still have the tubes. See
below.
 
Tiki side
Speedyxjs, Ooops...I do hope they actually fitted two of each way round....they are all the same wheel so I will just have to put the correct ones on
the right places.
Whippy, good ideas...I will have to check as to how practical they will be and if they clash with my own triangulation plans..
