Something i have always wanted to do. Might get round to it one day!

Cheers, don't leave it to long!

The build-up of the floor and steering support frames. I also cut and bent the sheet for the floor and did a trial fit. The next job was to make the seat rails and to position the roll bar support beam and integrate it into the chassis.

What you going to do for the exhaust? I think the only option is side exits!!

Remind me never to watch a movie with you. I was looking forward to the story unfolding in stages from the OP, not jumping straight to the end.

Please continue here Andy, I didn't read the other thread on principle because I was looking forward to seeing what develops here. Normalbloke (and Andy) please edit the previous posts and delete the link to the other forum so we can enjoy the story on PH

Same here. I'm not clicking on that link. I enjoy the suspense. Please keep posting !!

Love the project! Look forward to what body shape you decide to use, do you have any ideas yet?

One comment on chassis, I think you need some triangulation below your seat rails.

I will make the exhaust system and they will exit out the back. The mufflers will be located under the raised floor pan section and I will run the pipe work to exit at the top of the rear suspension mounts.

There will be an outer rail and upright which will make up the door frame which will provide strength and protection. Also the seat is a FIA approved with a box section frame which is bolts into the seat frame from the side which will also add strength to the seat frame.

Fasicnating to watch this unfold. At first I was expecting something Hot Rod-ish, then the OP mentioned doors and a roof, so I haven't got a clue what the finished result is going to look like now.

I feel a bit cheated, you're drip feeding the PH thread when you already have the story on another forum.

Don't, No Sound is obviously fairly new to PH and could easily have not posted the thread at all. It's better this way than having another Nazi Bunker thread, at least he has the full story to post.

Loving the look of it so far and I must admit I did think it was going rather well a bit too quickly
