That's a serious kick up in the back of that chassis! Have you built the rails from scratch yourself Marky?

Cheers guys, yes I have made the chassis rails from scratch. I did not want the normal stepped and welded box section so I fabricated the shaped peices to give the rails a slightly better look. (I have many more pics to come I shall give a brief explaination of the pics as I go . As long as I don't put you all to sleep When you get bored let me know  |

just to Mirror what Merv says, interested in your Lexus V8 see what that installs like and hoe it turns out. It is a route i would like to take if i were ever to do a v8. Nothing wrong with the ubiquitous Rover or yakie motors but the Lexus is a engine that will provide good HP with inbuilt reliability and economy,i think its a good choice.

When I left school the only things I was any good at were English & art. I was advised to try a career as a proof reader. In those days, the publishing world was a "closed shop" -you had to be a fully apprenticed member to get a job. So I served 4 years as a printer, hating every minute of it. By the time I'd finished the apprenticeship, the job of proof reading was being done by computer spell check. Looks like there might still be an opening for me! |

I used to do proofreading at home for a local publishing company - I too was superceded by a computer!

Ooh, that's nice.
Not sure it's bent is it? Looks like could be cut from flat sections & welded together?

Hi guys , yes the chassis rails are made with cut sections to create the curves. It was a fair bit of work but I have never been keen on the cut and spliced look it's to square for my liking.Also these pics are early stages so to bring the build up to date I shall post a series of pics if thats OK? . I shall write a brief description when the pics need it . |
