Yep, we said the same thing - we had a great weekend in spite of the weather. We wandered over to the clubhouse for a little while on Saturday night before ambling off to eat cheese and biscuits. Way too rock 'n' roll!
Oh, and offer well and truly accepted, young man!
You know how to flatter someone  |

Its not often I ask for a opinion, but I'm going to anyway. I've been working on the headers between work the last couple of days and have come up with  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe They are only tacked and held up with a bit of wood and to be honest would take quite a bit of work to alter. I do like them as they are "But what do you think??" |

I like them. As flattery, that was one of my more rubbish efforts. But I do. |

Don't think the zipties will work they'll melt. They are metal straps put on over there to hold them in place, you would not believe how much they help. (Will measure the kingpin (Ford Pop) tomorrow, was very busy today) But looks good to me. |

Here I am sitting in the van waiting for the RAC to take me home, was going up the Pod for the weekend but the timing belt tensioner has decided to call it a day, good thing is that I am sitting in a MacDonald's between Swindon and Oxford, so at least have had something to eat and wifi. and as soon as they come, off home again (Phoned up and told them the problem) Anyway, bit quite this afternoon, so pulled the trailer down the yard and took the car off to have a look, good thing is that I like the look, so will be keeping it like it, the only thing I am going to do is insted of putting the collector pipe at a angle to clear the tyre, I am going to weld it straight to the pipes, pie cut behind it and weld it back up.  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe Hopefully get the part for the van before next weekend and might even do some work on the car over the weekend. |

Yeah, but as you say, at least you've got somewhere warm & dry to wait.
The car's a bit of a beast isn't it Tone! Gonna look amazing out on the track.

Looks like Steve has been busy. I gave the wing frame to Chris (Crazy) Hartnell to skin it; I've had it back for a while now but put it to one side. The other week I drilled and pop riveted it together, bought some alloy bar, drilled and tapped the ends and then pressed them into the ends of the wing. I marked out the shape of the side plates out of card and gave them to Steve last weekend. He marked them out of thick alloy, cut and bolted them on. (They will be riveted as well)   The Cunning Coupe   |
