The build has begun.
I would like to thank you all for the information posted. Without it this build hadn`t been possible.
The car is based in a McSorley +442 chassis modified as follows.
instead of 1" I am using 1.5 X 1.5" 14 Ga tube. A1, A2, B1, B2, C, D1 and D2 tubes were cut to plan`s length so this yielded a total of +5" wide wise. +4 coming from plans and 1" from the difference on tube size.
Same treatment was given to the height, where the baseline dimension was the H tubes.
All remaining tubes are being cut to length as required.
Chronologically
March April. Pipe cutting. Squared ends were cut with a chop saw, all else with hacksaw.
So far:The last three weeks have seen a lot of action.
Building of the Table, and welding of already cut tubes. so far.
Pictures to follow.
Regards,
Chanoquin.

I havent been able to post pics due to inability to resize.
I´m working at snails pace, but advances have been made.
So far:
Transmission tunnel skins, Back Bulkhead, Floors, all cut to fit, drilled and deburred.
Front Suspension pick ups calculated and welded. I had to split the chassis warping between the front and back, but all suspension points are level on levekl ground and the warping came up to 1/8" on front right and rear left sides. I hope this is not too notorious when the car is finished (I can always blame Crater size potholes on my hometown)
Kinetic Vehicles Nose and scuttle modified to suit chassis. Thanks Jack.
I have cut all the pieces to make my seats, Waiting for charitable welder to fab them.
