At last the bodywork is complete.
I had a new top section made from the mould acquired with the chassis. Unfortunately I requested that it should be a little thicker than the original - I nearly got a hernia lifting it into my trailer! Next time I shall be a little more specific.
Anyway, I sanded off the inside layers to get down to a respectable weight, and I sprayed the body with Ford Radiant Red cellulose.
The nosecone is a Hawke DL15 item. It does not quite match up with the top section but is OK for now. I am having a mould made of the DL17 nosecone.
The car is still sitting on its slave wheels. I have ordered a pair of 8 x 13 Revolutions, from the factory, for the front (I already have 10 x 13 Revolutions for the rear).
I now have 7.0x20.0x13 R23 compound and 9.0x20.0x13 R25 compound Hoosier slicks for Hillclimbs.
I have also ordered a set of Hoosier cut intermediates and Superlite wheels. All these wheels and tyres have cost more than the rest of the project!
