More of the same again today, despite a couple of interruptions some progress was made on the drivers side of the body frame. Another day and I should be able to move on to the tail. I will not blame you if you have trouble in discerning where the progress has been made but there is a good five to six hours work gone into the Singer today.

Another day and more photographs of bundles of twisted steel tube. I hope that you are not becoming too bored. At last the front section of the body frame is more or less completed. So far this has consumed no less than 26 metres of tube. Not that I have been throwing the stuff in the bin. In total to date there would not have been half a metre of waste. I now have to wait for the next delivery of two more 6 metre lengths of 12.7 X 12.7 (1/2 inch) tube so I can complete the tail section. Hopefully tomorrow.

Thank you Dan

Once the body frame is completed it can be removed and I can return to the main restoration. My theory is that it is pointless to have a fully restored chassis and then start building the body frame on it. Some damage will always happen no matter how careful you may be.
