Exciting stuff

So on the ring will you be welding it all round or filling/leading the gaps? (I appreciate if you weld the whole thing you'll get a fair bit of distortion)

Going for continuous tacs all the way around but done very slow, the sheet metal is very stiff, no flex. Then grind back.

Couple of delays but going to paint next week. Base coat and 1st clear should be on by next Friday, fingers crossed. Then a drying period of a week or so. Followed by flat and second clear coats, polish and assembly. All on target for end of April.

The bonnet fuel filler hole was a real success, using the metal ring worked.

Panic averted on the engine build, problem was the tang on the bearing or Carrillo rods were on opposite sides;

Just caught up with this, fwiw I made a former to go under the end of the GT bumper trim, cut away a little of the mounting return slot, and dressed the outside over the former with a small smooth hammer to close the end of the extrusion, tricky but satisfying....W

This must be an exciting time for you, I hope it all goes together as planned.

Thanks for the encouraging comments

Cant wait to see the car in the sunshine.

Going through a problem with the flywheel, will update everyone depending on what the part supplier does.
