Dave,
Yes sorry about the exposure.
I have found that I have to adjust the exposure of the pictures on my computer before I post them.
Some were some were not.
What guy's?
That is all me!
The car is very simple to panel.
Anyone with a few basic tools, some patience and reading comprehension, can panel a TS40 in the same timeframe as me.
Stay tuned and watch how fast it progresses after it is panelled!
Regards,
Scott | |

I don't know why but there is something very beautiful about a steel spaceframe clad with alloy panels and rivets every 50mm or so.

The contrast between the chrome arms and the black chassis looks great. Not too bling! 
Keep up the good work
