Black 'project' 400 Griff...Moves up a gear...

Paul,
looks fantastic - a great job. If you are going to sprint or hillclimb it may I suggest you swap the frontlower and upper wishbones for the stronger tubular Tuscan racer ones. You will find with stiff suspension that if you use the kerbs the standard ones will bend. Much easier to do now than later.
John Reid sells them.

I couldn't resist placing my new bonnet on, whilst dropping the body back on to check for ease of refit, firstly with a scruffy body.!!
when you put the body back on did you have to angle the nose down to stop it fouling the upper chassis rails ?Edited by hillclimbmanic on Saturday 6th August 21:50

Pretty much...there was a fair bit of wriggling involved, and at one point, the nose was trapped BELOW the front rail...A lesson learned, and a system formed, for the painted body! Gassing Station | Griffith | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
