My missus just got back from the event, swooning over Andy Green. Apparently he's suave.

In the Q&A she didn't realize they were filming & said a rude word in a question She's mortified. hehe

She did say the build is fantastic, very impressive. I get to see it in August. Can't wait !

The aux duct apertures have been cut in the Ti upper chassis skins & Tufty is busy skin pinning the whole shebang together.

Been a while since I've found time to update this thread, on day 17 now without a day off, but hey ho, that's the way it goes.

Anybody care to hazard a guess as to what's being built up for us by a supplier at the moment, should be obvious....

Given that it looks like the cage for the T-rex on Jurassic Park 2 I would hazard a guess at it being something to secure the car whilst it is being transported.
