. . "whats with the starter.... a very well dressed robotic guy who takes his job very seriously." He was just doing exactly what ADR compelled him to do.--- - - - - - - -----poke. Real men and their machines, thanks for posting. Z.C.

Cool!! Thanks for posting. Z.C.

"cut out the affected areas and replace" It will be wise to remove all MDF . The guys doing boat building also encapsulate all wood 100%. The purpose is to prevent any moisture reaching the wood. Z.C.

Sorry same post twice!! Crossed wires somewhere? Z.C.

Hi Leon, I like the high stud roof, gives one a sense of space but how are you going to heat it up in a few months time? Z.C.

Pat and Jack, thanks for posting. Z.C.

I have finished the wooden buck and is about to start with the aluminum work. . . But before I start with the ali, I have to somehow create extra space in the workshop. This will probably take a wee bit of time. Z.C.

Just imagine how loose the rules were for them to add +_ 3 foot extension onto the front of a car. Pic from post #27. Oh , yes those drivers of that go-kart, man they had huge -- shall I say FORTITUDE. Z.C.

Hi Leon, sorry I can't answer your question. I just like the pics in post #19 , copied here. I am also thinking about a certain member ( an Aussie ) whose wish it is to build a PEE FOUR. A tremendous amount of time is saved if the car is built without a roof , like in the pics...

Jim looking at those pics of yours ( post # 154 page 8 from your build thread ) I can see that your wife has good grounds to call you as she does. Yes, Molleur how could we build without clamps and battens ?? Well I can't. Leon, only hand tools for the wood work, hole saw, a lot of jig...

Hi guys , thank you for showing support with this project. The tail buck took a lot of time, glue and patience. Those holes in the stations gives easy access to the clamps and line of sight. The grey steel ( red arrows) is temporarily to align the left with the right hand. Started...

Molleur , thank you for the encouragement. Now that the leaf springs are out of the way I am trying to get a more accurate look of the wings at the rear. The right hand buck is taking shape , though not glued yet. Z.C.

Hi Leon, This new idea of yours can / will work. Don-t know if you know but there are heaps of threads in the power boat forum of the " Glen-l" web site. Many guys and dolls "Roberta" for one , posting pics and problems about this construction method. Z.C.

Happy New years to all. Mr. Bahco Saw came over for a visit to Miss. Wooden Buck. He gave her some of his attention and consequently left her with a gaping hole. Now she fits correctly once again. Z.C.

Jack well spotted, the critical holes that got reamed later on were only small pilot drilled before bending. Terry, thank you for the kind words. I have a rolling chassis again, however the wooden buck needs a bit of attention now, since the new steel brackets are in the way. The...

To be able for the body work to look more authentic at the rear halve , I cut off the existing leaf springs. Now installing torsion bars at the rear similar to the original. For the brackets mounting the torsion bars and Panhard rod I had a few parts lazer cut. What a...

Welcome Brian. Like Jack, I all so wondered if perhaps you might be associated with boats. Z.C.

Please allow me to expand a wee bit outside the initial request Scott. If the mods feel this is extra "noise" and a waste of band width then please delete this post. The first pic shows how this "area rule " theory was applied to a jet aircraft, while the second explains how the...

Brian you are spot on. Well done. Colt 1100. Z.C.

For those members who wants it a bit harder. Z.C.
