Thanks Mark, it will look even better soon
I'm not sure what's going on but I did update this thread about 20 mins ago but it's vanished!! Best try again..
Well today I finally started working on Why Not again which felt rather nice after weeks of bench building and getting the new house sorted out..
This is what she looked like when I arrived in the workshop this morning..
It didn't take long to get her stripped down to an almost naked chassis..
The front axle soon came off followed by the front of the chassis!!!
So why did I cut the front of the chassis off? Well, after much thought I have decided to remove what was left of the original chassis, the main reason being strength which is a nice thing to have plenty of with all the hp the engine produces..
It also looks quite out of place with the rest of the box chassis rails.
But before I can remove all the original chassis, I need to add some new chassis rails each side..
A bit hard to see from the photo's but the new rails gradually tuck in under the engine and straighten up at the front again for the new front axle I'm going to make..
Not a huge amount of progress, but it's a start
