Re: Kiwi scratchbuilt

I have finished most of the bracketry around the front of the car. The spyder has been mounted and I have bonded in the screen so it holds it's correct shape. The hinges for the front clip have been done and the clip is mounted in position.The roll cage is well underway and I am slowly moving back through the chassis. Today was something of a milestone in that for the first time I sat a motor and trans in the back in what will pretty much be it's final position. The chassis is sitting at ride height and everthing looks good. Now I've just got to figure how to stop the whole lot falling onto the road! Might need something to hold the suspension too!
