My next project "La Petite Chanteuse"

2 minute(s) of a 82 minute read

Another day and another (tiny) step forward. Most of this morning was taken up with making and fitting the sheet metal to the bulk-head. It would certainly speed things up if I had all that state of the art equipment like a folder for instance but would I be having so much fun? Much of this afternoon was spent on what could be described as "Belt AND Braces" tasks. You will have to ask your grand-father to explain that one. That and simple little but necessary things like the lugs that will ultimately support the dash-board. My next task is to draw up the petrol tank so I can get a quote on having one fabricated in aluminium.

The rear view of the seats also gives you a better idea of the amount of "off-set"

Hello whtbaron

And all the people who are wondering if I have done a disappearing act, we have been away in the 1934 Lagonda for the weekend visiting Maryborough in the heart of the Central Goldfields of Northern Victoria. Checking the odometer since we have arrived home, we covered some 480 kilometres in two days driving there and back. The speed limit on main (divided) roads in Victoria (Australia) is either 100 or 110 kph. Being a law abiding citizen I usually drive to or near to the limit. I would hate to be accused of holding up the traffic because I am driving a 79 year old car......

Monday and more boring stuff, welding and adjusting the frame. This included extending the drivers seat extension another 2 two inches. This is hinged to allow access to the main floor when it finally comes up on the "to-do" list. I did a thumb nail drawing for the petrol tank and sent it off for a quotation to make it in aluminium.
