Morgan/Moss build ?

25 Sep 2018, 4:11pm
Thanks for the kind words just hope my vision is not more than I can do.

In any build there are low points and even despair, but they will be overcome.
Keep at it , but sometimes just walk away and do something else for a while. Build a plastic aeroplane or boat then come back refreshed. If we weren't mad we wouldn't be here.

Astounding to be able to visualise then deliver such tidy design.

Wet weekend so got a good lot of hours on the car after putting up shelves for my daughter. Good brownie points so have managed to get six panels fitted to one side of the car, and quite pleased with the results for a change. still four more on that side but I think I will get the other side up to the same stage before I tackle them. Think I might have to coat the steel with some oil as a light surface rust has started to appear must be the weather.

Thanks I think it is starting to come together but still a long way to go

Really is looking good a real classic.

I know I said I would get the other side up to the same stage but had a go at one of the curved roof corners this week. So spent a total of five hours with a sand bag and mallet to form the curve not quite there yet but getting there.

Hi managed to get quite a bit done this week some evenings and at the weekend so quite happy so far all most half the panels done, but still seams like a loot to do.

and also been looking at the front wheel arch/ running board and not sure about the head light pod looks a bit stuck on so might remove it and fit pod lights?

The headlights look low compared with the front of the bonnet so a big pair of chrome pod lights would look good.

Curves on that front section look as if they would be an utter pain to make, very well done.

Thanks yes have been finding it quite hard to do some of the panels but learning all the way. Think I might scrap the wings and fit cycle wings and pod lights?

I like the full fenders. Would it be possible to cut the pods out and move them up, filling in the sheet metal as it goes?

Remarkable work!
31 Oct 2018, 9:25pm
I prefer the original wings, gives it a more period look but with LARGE chrome pods, Bentley style.
31 Oct 2018, 9:37pm
Thanks can not make up my mind could take pods right off, lifting them up they might look just stuck on like an oops I forgot the lights. Will have to think on it.
31 Oct 2018, 10:13pm
You'll get it eventually. Great work so far.

Took a step back to move forwards so to speak, removed the two nose panels I fitted last week had a bump on joint line which was bugging me. But have remade them and the other side as well so good progress and feel they look much better.
