Update on build board and frame

I was going through the old posts and thought i'd do an update on what is happning with the frame and build board. Well the board currently looks like this -

and to add a note of proudness - that's my Dad's 1918 Model T Ford under the cover. He's done the most amazing job. Rebuilt it from ground up apart from the main body. It was originally a utility (pick up) which i rebuilt the tray as my HSC major work. He decided to go with the tourer a few years after this, the upholstery he did himself, and learned it all from scratch. I'm very impressed!

Back to the board. I found some white house paint left over from somewhere, and gave it a few coats so that the lines to be marked on it stick out a bit better. I will be drilling and mounting small blocks of timber on the board on either side of each metal tube to keep the chassis from twisting as it is welded, and prevent it from being bumped inadvertantly out of alignment.

Update on frame - fingers crossed the new plans from Voodou motorsport in the UK will be relesaed in the next week. I'm dead keen to get everything underway this coming weeekend.
