Hi David
Thanks for your interest, I’m keen to see it finished as
well! It’s not perfect but I’m happy with the last 4 years work,
it’s kept me busy in my retirement!
JonE May know that the hardest part of this build is the
tail cover. All other Cups have fabric coverings which
allows the builder to cover a multitude of sins!! From copious amounts of
body filler to builders foam!
I don’t have that luxury and my bare alloy cover is there for all to see!
Here’s a photo of the assembled car before I dismantled it for
final finishing and lacquering.
I was warned that it was hard to get the correct shape, slope, seal and fit on
the tail by David Cochrane and others, but as a first time
car builder( as opposed to car restorer) I’m reasonably pleased with the final result
though I admit it’s slightly high, but not as high as several other Cup Replicas I’ve seen.
This car is a one off and I don’t think anyone else will be daft enough to copy it!
Regards
