Like you say reckless, time will tell. This is my first build so its been a bit of a learning curve along the way. I had thought about the front axle and there is some clearance to allow for spring flexing but if it comes to it i will no doubt change it to a bowed one . My aim at the moment is to get it on the road and make any mods and improvements when needed. Im getting one hell of a kick putting it all together though, loving every moment of it 
. My late father has been a great inspiration for me with two restorations under his belt, the first one being a Thornycroft Sturdy Star and the second one a 1927 Crossley 14 which was imported back into this country from Australia as a kit of spare parts. He built a period van body on it and painted it in Great Western Railway colours. I have seen a picture of it on an old thread on this forum, i think the subject of the thread was building van bodies but not sure. A big thanks to everyone who responded to my thread and for the great comments. P.S i am located in Basingstoke , Hampshire. I noticed one or two members are in the same locality
