It was built in cardboard first, everything levelled, and the original parts straightened, repaired, measured, etc then extra metal designed into the bracketry to give more support. Then built in heavier weight angle iron. All the original positions of securing bolt holes were used. (Mine wasn't helped by needing all new floors made as well as new frame in American Ash.)
I wouldn't be certain that mine, an early 65, has exactly the same dimensions as a later Nippy.
If you need them I can probably find photos of most original rusty parts and newly made parts made to the rusty pattern.
Hey nick ,you been very helpful and the pics do most of what I should need to know. Took a good look at my future nippy today didn’t show any signs of cracking around outside bottom spare wheel compartment on outside and the doors not gapping only popping out at bottoms.
Thanks nick your car will be fantastic when finished love the new wood. Regards Rob
