I won an eBay auction a few days ago for a set of Burlington Arrow plans and will be using a GT6 I already own as the donor (engine, trans and differential, suspension, etc. - the chassis will be used, too, but it will first be extended about a foot). 15" wire wheels from a TR3 and a set of "flying" wings from a kit car will complete the illusion of a '30s roadster.

From the point of view of this esteemed forum, if I don't spend more than GBP 250. will I be considered a Locost builder? Or just a low cost builder?

Chris - a question about yours

I read that you widened the body 4" - did you also widen the track and overall width correspondingly, or just use wings that are less wide to make up the 2" on each side?

my car being a morgan like, is essentially a 30s - 40s roadster too, and i have been on here 18 months. I recon I set the precidence for ya already!

then there is alanb's car.

neither is a seven or sadly low cost!!!

I built mine +4 inches overall, i.e. I added four inches to all the members that run across the car, used a cortina axle and a sierra rack, I made the rear arches to suit the wheels I'm using (Capri Lasers), there are some details on my website

Cheers

Chris

Technically, I won't spend a single GBP - some USD, of course, but no GBP!

BTW, my copy of "the book" finally arrived in today's mail - I can finally get some understanding about the stuff you're all taking for granted.
