Wheels spinning nice & true Chris? Don't think I could trust my measuring/welding skills to get it spot on.

So that explains how you've managed to crack on a bit this week. Surprising the amount you can get done when you're left in peace and quiet

Yep, if you don't make a cutting list, then it comes as a bit of a surprise (or shock) just how much material is required.
Will this be skinned in steel or aluminium?

right, no one laugh. this is how far i've got with the body. first time at doing this.
got one door outer frame in hole, need to get more steel for other side.
got the cowl and front bulk head to start yet, which i think will change the looks making it not seem so wide.

You have got a lot done on this !
Hope you remembered skinning allowance and swing gap around the doors.
