ordered my kit so what am I doing in the nex 12 weeks

[spatz]

yes that is really the hard part, now that I finally have decided it is really the waiting time that troubles me the most !!!
I know I can now shop around for all the bits and pieces still I would love to drill and rivet, oh yes I am excited !!!

clean up your garage, and make a dolly/thing to move the chassis around.
somewhere in a forum you will find the measures.

Yes - you get your garage all ready - this is how mine looked before my kit arrived...

Buy an air rivet gun.

Make yourself a rivet guide. I used a metal ruler and predrilled spacing for rivets, the measuremnts on ruler made drilling easy. Read Stigs websites. Start putting together the tools you will need, a power file is very useful, a right angled drill a must.

fortunately I have a professional air rivet gun but I bought a right angle adaptor yesterday for my drill,
and I will for sure make a trolley

I used one of these:

Very accurate, easy to change spacing if needed.

If you need a pair of Ultima seats, Getrag 6 speed box or a fully rebuilt 500 english bhp engine, let me know!!

i have already ordered the full kit without engine or fuel system related parts but the gear box might be interesting, let me know how much you want for it, although the common opinion here on the forum is that the G50 suits the V8 engine better. Cannot use the english engines, only LS3 or LS7

but thanks

Expensive bit of kit when a steel rule will do the job.
I bet you won't even get that in to most of the places.

Take this chance to spend time with your family. After you get your kit all bets are off on your free time. You'll be having too much fun in the garage.

I think I linked to the largest one by mistake, I bought the smaller one and had no problems with it. I think it's a great tool, very versatile and time saving.
