Chassis goes together quite easily, don't know what you lot are complaining about! What I had after the first round of hacking, the chassis built, and a model A roadster pickup body chopped in half, and most of a 40 Ford bonnet.

Now the body is glued back together, the chassis and suspension are built, the engine positioned, and the wheels set up.

I figure this has all round independant suspension, so it is a hi tech hot rod for me, needs a hi tech engine.

I see you've been having the same problems as me in getting the rear suspension sorted so it doesn't foul the bodywork!

The boattail has been shortened and widened to fit the body. I am also trying to mould the doors into the body, but not too smooth at the moment!

The colour is Wicked Red from Halfords.

Been working on the exhaust system this week, it's coming along nicely now.

I still need to build the exhaust, but that should be easy. Then it's on to the interior.
