Posting questions about my recalcitrant BLIC Magneto has reminded me that I should be posting some updates on the cars progress.

As she stands, which is now on her correct 6" brake wheels, Slippery has functioning brakes and steering, her seats are in place and the floor is complete. The rear dampers still need to be contrived and the engine needs to go in mated to the nice close ratio box that Andy Bird built for her.

I have not yet covered the wood frame with Irish Linen, as I will have some work to do once all the chassis work is done.

I also need the radiator core, which is work in progress at a specialist who has the skills to make one angled at 45 degrees, but still has the tubes parallel to the chassis.

Taken when I had the whole car apart to paint her components and fit the floor and seats. have attempted to attach a few pictures, hopefully visible below. The Gremlins have gotten at my efforts, as the post draft which will not let me see what images I am posting, so if the pictures do show up I am sorry for no an annotations.

The seats and chassis pictures are self evident, I have also inserted a shot of the front brake lever I fitted along with the bushed central pivot intended to stop the cross shaft flexing forward under load.

You will also be able to see the front chassis swan neck and parallel rear springs.

I have included a picture which shows how the drivers right hip has to slot under the bodyworks frame.

Regards, Mark.
