were the 1/4's bought or totally hand fabricated ?
925 hours to where it currently is, which is further than the last set of photos.What's the hour count now Ian?
A lot of time, lots of small alterations, re fit, adjust, re fit, adjust, definitely not an easy skill and a lot of patience needed.Metal working is just pure magic, I have no idea how they do it. So much by eye and feel with English wheels and all that, yet perfect results. Just magic.
Its at the point now where its too late to worry about it.Can't wait to see this done ... the ever climbing hours would keep me awake at night but fair play to you for pushing through with it, to have it done right.
Yes, love the lack of filler, hoping all that will needed is the skim coat, any larger areas will be lead loaded, so no shrinking or cracking in the future.I have to say the pics in bare metal are class. Just so you can see the pure craftsmanship in each piece and not thrown together and plastered in isopon
That could be an interesting chat.Can we please have this man on the podcast and also a cars and coffee celebration when this car is finished and we can all just appreciate it??
That sounds like a great idea.RMS Classics car show for anything pre-1999
Or RMS Jap Fest
I've obsessed over every detail, and with Dave's craftsmanship, its going to be as good as I can achieve. Still a lot of work left for me to complete, Hoping for on the road for early summer 2023.From what I've seen so far, the attention to detail and craftsmanship on this build it leaves me knowing once this build is finished, it will no doubt be one of the finest 260Z on this planet!!
@EF Ian What colour are you thinking ? Sorry I’d been covered already.
