Re: Dodge baquet ish build.

Thanks Marek. I love this stage of the build. Making all the
little adornments like the fuel guage. It's a bit of an armoured
cable gland and I coloured in the dial ect on card then covered
it with perspex. I also used the same thing for the radiator
thermostat guage. The dodge has loads of adornments so that is
gonna be fun. Really looking forward to painting all the signage
on as well. When I paint the number on the side of the fuel tank
I'm gonna drill lots of holes in the number to aid air getting
into the fan.

I have modified the brake pedal to make it more adjustable and
give a bit more leg room. I am waiting on a bead roller from
Amazon so I can start on the body work. I have some 1.2mm
aluminium sheet left over from a couple of other projects so I
will use that.

Hooray, the chassis is finished at last. I hope to paint it this
weekend and start putting it all back together. Thanks for all
the kind words, it is very encouraging and has kept me going.
I'm still hoping to get it out for testing before the end of
March.

I managed to paint the chassis and start making the floor last
weekend. The satin black paint reacted with the primer and
crackled. Luckily I'm not after a show finish.

Don't worry about a bit of crackle finish, I worry about the
paint finish on my CK
then I remember the brush strokes visible on a lot of the cars
at the
Brooklands museum, and I feel a whole lot better.

on the baquet. looks like a really interesting floor

With the floor finished I put the car back up the right way and
started reassembling it. I also made the bonnet sides from ali
and hardboard that has the rear on the outside. This is so it
looks like the canvas stuff on the original car. I will paint it
white later.
