Jennette's Sammio 550 Build

12 Aug 2012, 7:20am
Looks nice but won't 500 hols around the top of the tub form a nice perforated tear line that affects the strength?

NO MATE ...It is still incredibly strong ....the combinastion of frame , paste , wood , bonding etc etc makes these little bodies pretty tough...

Cool. I might 'borrow' that idea around my screen then. Can't wait to get the body, only a couple of weeks to go

Garry I hope that you wont need to bare your soul on here again. We all know the reasons and we know the results.

Will Jeanettes car be finished before Mikes?

I for one am looking forward to seeing the 2 finished and at the next sammio get together. Keep smiling.

Yes , most definitely.....Jennettes will be fitted up Saturday and hopefully mot'd early next week , leaving interior to do...

Mike was working out a steering column earlier involving bits of Triumph and MG and deciding on location and shape of battery box etc....

This thread seems to have been hijacked by Gary's latest spyder project which I've seen in the flesh and looks great rubbing down between 500 rivets a lovely Blue mind. Any who har, the 550 is in safe hands "mine" and will not be a quick get it on the road build and she will have paint and so will Skippy when I've finished the major modifications, nearly 06:30 Sunday out to the garage and pi$% the nieghbours off.

Please keep us updated with the 550 as she progresses....
