Andy. Just discovered and read this build over the last couple of days. Absolutely awesome is all I can say.
Outstanding through and through.
I know it's probably more work than you'd want on your plate at the moment but have you considered posting this on Mankey Monkey Motors forum. They'd love this they would. Various forum members there doing very similar things to this. Just a thought,
Mark
Looks like a good car forum but time is always a problem. Cheers AndyOutstanding through and through.

Isn't it a always. Well in that case would you object if I post a link to your build write up on the MMM forum. As I said they'd love this although I'm willing to bet that both forums share members anyway. Can't just be me.
Hi Mark, no problem regarding the link from PH to MMM forum. I will have a good look around MM when I have more time. Cheers AndyGreat work so far, working in aircraft sheet metal myself I'm particularly interested in the bodywork, I saw the home built English wheel (do you have different wheels? The one I have at work only has one set which can be a problem on tighter parts) but what other tools are you using? Do you have a shrinker/stretcher, bead roller etc?

I have six lower wheels and one upper wheel (see picture) and I have a foot operated shrinker/stretcher and a powered bead roller (only me so it had to be powered) If you have any tips please let me know.Cheers Andy
Why would you need to do that anyway?

So, Mr NoSound. You have skills, but other candidates have better qualifications. We'd like you to demonstrate why you feel as suitable for th role as a Dr of engineering?
..Well, I designed and built this car in my spare time, on my own, in my garage, using machinery I modified and designed myself.
Ok Mr Nosound, that's fully awesome. In fact, the only more awesome thing we've seen is the man with the underground bunker - but his engineering skills aren't quite as polished. When would you like to start?

As a fellow scratch builder, your work is very impressive, as is your ability to design stuff like the body off the fly, I find it hard to comprehend designing a body and components with no drawings!
I can't build stuff without having it all modelled! As Such it's taken an awful lot longer.
anyway I can but mirror everyone else's comments, keep up the excellent work and I look forward to following this more!
