Many thanks for the kind comments regarding my special. I also plan to fit some kind of under tray.
Hi , many thanks for the comments regarding my special. Yes the screens are a bit low and wouldnt have much effect so i do intend to raise them slightly using a plinth. As mentioned i bought the componants and chassis in December 22. I get 3 evenings a week on it . It was all built in an 8ft by 10ft tin shed at the bottom of my garden so has been challenging at times but im getting there. The rad shell is something i made myself. I dont intend painting it , just leaving it bare aluminium. Its developed a nice patina which is in keeping with how i wanted the car to look. The paint on the rad shell has got a nice crazed effect on it where the laquer had reacted with the paint which wasnt intentional but makes it look aged so i dont think i will change it. Not to every ones taste but i like it. I wanted to create a typical shed built special and i think i have achieved that.
