Lovely job Dave! really nice ....... Proper craftsmanship. It always seems like you have made big leaps ahead when you see large items like the wheels all sitting there ready for fitting.

Thanks again guys.
Yep, getting something finished even if it's only wheels is a boost.
While not exactly cheap, at almost £200, I think it's been worth the effort. Just a set of four hubcaps would have cost over £100 to buy new, so all in all I'm well pleased.

Finally got back to working on the car. Chassis rail side cover made for the drivers side. Runs from in front of the firewall to behind the rear axle. Wish I'd used a car with a straight sided chassis. Made in three sections (it's almost 8 ft long) and beaten into shape, it took almost 8 hours. Hopefully the other side won't take as long

Sections riveted together and fitted. Non structural so doesn't really need this number of rivets. Can't get a better pic. without getting the car out of the garage.

Maybe it doesn't need all the rivets, but it sure looks nice with 'em.

Yep. Quite pleased with the result. Got the other side done. Now to store them with all the other panels as I think it's time to look at getting the engine running.
