Thanks Gary for photo of bulk head. the car is now striped down and i will be taking engine and gearbox out next week. this will be my first kit car i have made that did not come in a box, i will up load photos as i go along
Welcome to the forum Dale ...I did put a bit about your car on another thread ...so if you want to continue that one or post your details here ..eithers cool with me ...looking forward to see it develop mate ...
This will be my first kit car I have made that did not come in a box
Just picking up on what you said there Dale ...I'm glad you get that ...a lot of enquiries I get refer to the whole package and an instruction manual etc.
I come from a Hot Rod and Special building background and these cars follow that ethos ...they aren't out of the box , but I think that is a strength and not a weakness ...the ability to create the car , your way , with guidelines but no rules is far more appealing to me ...
That flexibility has proved with previous S*mmio's etc. that cars can be built with a variety of different styling traits which keeps things exciting and interesting .... Not everyone wants that , I know , but there are other options for them , The MEV Replicar etc. but in my opinion , they are less convincing as Evocations than our cars ...
Thanks Gary for putting pictures on.the bulkhead is cut down and off now and i am putting new box section all the way round the car.just got the engine and gearbox to take out now will send more pictures in a week
Dale
I have been chatting with Dale this week and he's put his order in for the body and frame ...THANK YOU DALE.
He also sent me some updates and this is what he had to say ....
Hi Gary
brake pipes in, engine, in suspension done, all done with poly bushes. Just got to send gearbox for a rebuild. brakes will be done next day or two just waiting for the post for some parts here are some photos
Dale and his dad came down yesterday from Norfolk to pic their kit up ...really good to meet them and chat .....
I asked him to message me when they got home , its an epic jouirney and I was very grateful to them for putting themselves out to come and collect my kit ...It gave Dale a chance to see the Scimitar build too ...
Dale sent me these pictures of the kit in its 'snug' new home ....
Thank Gary . the transmission tunnel fitted ok with a cut or two. it will be covered in leather like the rest of the inside of the car , no metalwork showing ?
I like how your Formosa is turning out. I am also thinking about the interior for my Miglia and the more I look at alloy panels, the more I like the look of them.
Thanks again for your reply regarding the master brake cylinder.
