Beautiful work Dan! Is this considered an underslung chassis, just curious? 

A chassis where the elements are suspended below the axles. Such as this. :smartass:

Beautiful work presented here as always...

To Roy, in the real life ash tree is used. Here, plywood! And no wood on the Talbot, it's for the Bugatti,

were I used oak and red wood, sorry...

Come back now to the engine. Do you remember, exhausts pipes are ready, lets go!

It's easier with a jig:

Happy New Year ladies & gentlemen!

And thanks guys for your kind words, always much appreciated...

 

Today, around the radiator. Of course, nobody will see them in a few... month (!), but

it's there and I know that!

Thanks to these glorious photos, WE know also, to our great satisfaction. Documenting work such as this is vital as an extension of the accomplishment.

I see my Rolls daily in its case but frequently go into my photo records to enjoy what is now unseen and inaccessible. Brings back the joy immediately.

I often think, ' I did that???"

Thank you very much gentlemen!

And sometimes, "Can I now do that again"... With a doubt, of course!

We are always_ fortunately_ in the doubt, and it's to my eyes a good thing.

 

Well, today plumbing, the real car:

You can see some work is needed on this side!

And on the top, the beginning of the head cover. Note it's a valveless engine, a Knight patent.

PS: I can't remove the first "quote case". What is going on? Thanks
