Simonism commented on this post about 2 years agoGetting it together - bit-by-bit. Engine, mount and torque converter are pretty much done; floor pan is done; pedals, throttle and cable, master cylinder, calliper mount and hose are done; seat is done; side bodywork is prepped and test fitted (much more bodywork to come later); steering, steering shaft and detachable wheel are done; wheels are done (hubcaps to come later); dash is done (instruments and ignition switch to come later).
Last big thing to do to get rolling is to shorten the 25mm axle stock down to 1020mm long and cut four 6mm keyways each 77mm long and two circlip grooves. This will take some care! Then put everything together properly and test drive. Then pull it all apart again and paint it. Oh, so much to do, so much to do!
Oh ... and I fit in it, too!
Excuse the photo-shopped picture - trying to hide my mess!
Have fun!

Mick ... Still lots of little things to set up before I trust my bum in it! -
Just noticed your 'kart trestle' - what a great idea. I have one of those kind of ladders. Going to steal that idea
when i get back on to mine.
