Bit of an update. Chassis is now fully welded with the SFi floor update done. This meant turning the chassis upside down. Hopefully that will not be repeated when its racing  Next jobs are mount seat, shifter box and finish the custom tie rods.  |

As you can see in the photos the funny car cage has been done and I would like to thank Andy and Kate Robinson at Andy Robinson Race cars for the excellent work and customer service from this company. I have bought a number of parts from them over the years and recently Andy has been very helpful with floor specs, info and support. I would 100% recommend them. It was quite amusing seeing my climbing frame next to very exotic machinery at their work shop Andy also had the chassis tagged by Mark Norton, and I can run 6's it seems now I would also like to thank my Dad again, not only for most of the chassis work but also helping me load up the car and trailer 3 times on the last month for racing, and chassis drop off and pick up. Final thanks also goes to Ron, Martin and Harvey for the constant encouragement. Just need Martin to loan me the turbo stuff to really push the chassis along (hint hint) Loads still to do obviously, but shifter set up coming very soon once some flexi joints have arrived  Lee |

Ok, time for an update. Recent times have been spent saving money for the next lot of bits needed. Another order placed with Ron Lummus saw all the steering components arrive and a new set of pedals as well. Shifter box mount has been made and all tacked in. We are also in the process of moving house hence slow Notch progress but hitting it hard this weekend coming so a few update photos may appear. Body shell still waiting to be finished but there will be a twist with that coming to set it apart from the other uk notchbacks Lee |

Time for an update, well kind of.
Shell has been given a nice coat of satin black. The NOS doors have been lightened using large hole saws and the inner panels cut out. Alex Taylor@ Defcon 3 folded the cut edges over to give a bit of strength back and it looks nicer than just cut edges
Doors are currently being primed and once back will be fitted with the custom hinge pin/hinge set up. All steering components finished and fitted and pedals have been mocked up. I have two pedal assemblies, I need to make a decision on what to use.
Chassis trolley was cut down height wise so shell could go back over the chassis and still go under the garage door.
Next jobs are to final set chassis ride height/body then start the never ending task of dzus fasteners for wings, flip front and Ali panels inside.
My wife and I have decided to have a bit of a break from the house renovation so hopefully more progress soon
Lee
