Keith,
Thank you for the kind words.
This Saturdays work;
Layed out interior rivets and drilled pilots.
Started rear bulkhead.
Finished up steering rack front cover and access panel (just have to cut cooling pipe holes).
Cut battery box hole.
Installed fuel tanks for mock up of fuel quantity sender covers in the sill top panels.

Thank you Bill.
It is all pre-polished aluminum alloy that is included with the kit.

So fast and (seems so) easy assembly!.
Welldone Scott...go on go on!
If not already present in the manual, u can add all those assembly pictures as a dvd for the cars sold (why not also make small videos with homemade camera?).
Pictures nice as those are always better than any draw or description

Wow,
I better get over to see your build before you're finished!

FRPGUY,
Only one deviation from TSC, I have room to install a small storage box just aft of where the dual fuel pumps will be installed, on the right side of the car. It will end up being about 9L x 7W X 5D.

Impressive work Scott, keep this up & it will be finished by the Spring
What are you using to seal the panels to the chassis with. Mine was done with bathroom sealant (white!!) which is OK but can't be overpainted

Andy

Thank you Andy.
The sealant used was included in the Deluxe Package.
I do not know what it is made of.

Scott - So on the Tornado, do you locate the Spider and then everything else dials in off of that or?
RE: Personal Mods - No kidding... I've had my car in the shop now since the end of October and I've barely started the actual build for all the engineering changes and fabrication because I've deviated so far from the text-book build... That's okay though because I'm doing it my way..

The build looks brilliant.
A quick question - are the radiator pipes copper? If so are you running an Ali radiator or heads?
If so you will lose ali through electrolisis. It can be eased back with inhibitors but will still happen. So it may be easier to change to Ali pipes now rather than later with the added expense of an new radiator.

Randy,
Yes the spider is located first.
Ian,
Thank you.
Yes I have both alloy radiator and heads.
I'm not worried about "electrolisis" though.
TSC has been continually developing the car for 19 years now. If it was a significant issue it would be set up differently.
I do understand your concern, however by using distilled water and high quality ethlyene glycol, it is a non issue.
American "Muscle Cars" have run alloy heads with copper/brass radiators for decades with no problems.
