thanks for kind words Phil
To get the engine in, the rear upper space frame/ rear stays section is removable, bolted in at 10 points.
This frame shown is still a protoype, with several of the tube joints not properly made, some tube sizes still to be decided, and the joints only partially welded.
Once I have a body, I am going to buld the car up to running the engine condition in the proto frame, then finally build the real frame and swap all the bits over.
I do intend to simplify the front and rear of the frame once I have finalized the suspension. I will do this once I have the WOW (width over wheels) dimension correct, and for that I need the body. Can't stand some kit / replica cars (not on here though) where the front wheels are on a hopelessly narrow track for the body style.
Cheers
