Wishbones, pain, sheetin and scuttle

No i havent started the wishbones. I wish i had actually, i'm really excited to give them a go. Trouble i'm having at the moment is sourcing the chromoly tube. I've been to 5 different places and no one stocks or cannot get stocks of 25 x 3mm tube.

I have found a place in Sydney though. Going to cost me about $330 delivered for just the 25mm tubing. The rest can be sourced from the Newcastle area and it will be about $150 delivered.

BUT this weekend the frame is getting welded. I've inherited some 2 pac grey primer from a contact, which i'll use as the paint for the chassis. Not too sure if i'll bother giving it a top coat. Maybe when everything is done. I've got the sheet metal guys booked in for either next week or the week after to at least get the floor in and the side and seat back sheeting on.

I'm going to attempt to make the scuttle on Sunday i think. Try and make it using a template. I shall see how the time goes.
