The metal plate looks terrific. And Barney must stand in the corner. -- Russ

A bit of progress but still a long way to go - loads of detail work to do on the "body work" lamps / brackets and wiring front and rear to be fitted - brakes needs rivet and nut bolt detail + all the other little bits - general wiring to starter motor and generator /lamp switches /battery box and on and on we go !

[Barney]

As with the engine a few changes to give it that different look all done with bits a pieces laying around in the Mine (with no name) workshop a more comfortable !! seat

[Barney]

Engine "finished" I think ! starter motor and generator to be fitted last after painting

Simply amazing what you build so grandiose of many small parts.

Barney, What Helmut said!

I love the paint job on the chassis, it reminds me of an Orca.

[finescalerr]

Satisfactory. -- Russ

[Gordon Ferguson]

Very ! Satisfactory

Just remind me ,  your plastic nuts & bolts ..... Do you drill holes for fixing them ( i.e. Leaving the moulded stem on ) or are you just cutting them off flush then fixing

Just seems sharper than my work/method
