There are quite a few people I need to thank so far.
Ron Lummus-
Sold me the chassis kit at a great price and was always very quick to reply to my emails when we had any questions or advice was needed.
A great person to deal with.
My Dad-
Without his skills as a welder/fabricator this project would never have happened. A lot of hours have been spent on this.
Family-
Putting up with my hobby!
Gizago on here-
Providing me with a lead on a notchback, thank you
Local Cal look guys to me-
Always pushing me, especially when I've got down about the project.
Still a lot to do, floor needs modifying to meet new SFI regs and then we need to start mounting the body.
Hope everyone likes the first project pics
Lee

Needs to be a dual tube in the centre not just a single one. And a bit of cross bracing on the floor also. Nothing major just more time and notching by hand of tubes!!

Hi Shane,
The wheels are CMS 3.5 inch wheels. They are te ones that are normally on my oval as well. The front is just mocked up with drums, I will probably run spindle mounts that I have (that Jason Foster is kindly looking after for me at te moment)

Right, in the spirit of the revived post rate on here an update should happen tomorrow. Question: what size tube should be used for the centre two tubes running down the middle of the chassis (floor section) Anyone know the regs/requirements? Lee |

OK, a slight update. Dad and I spent a few hours trimming another Notch shell today. It was rough cutted out with a recip saw dad had borrowed from work. He's a site manager for a demolition company so you can imagine it made short work of a rotten uk notch. Rocket Ron kindly let me borrow his trailer (thank you) to transport the shell from my nan and grandads to my parents where the chassis is. My family must hate me This is where it went slightly wrong, the shell was still very heavy (dad and I only just got it on the trailer) so there was no way we could lift it over the rolling chassis. We are going to do the final neat cutting/trimming next weekend so it will be lighter and clear the chassis. Just got home, filthy and with a stiff back  |
