New Pace 427 Build

[RGF]

So here is how the car looked this morning. The build has been coming along really well and as a result I haven't been on the forum for ages. Too busy building!!



Then I took the body off - so now it feels like I have just gone backwards several steps!!





What do they say - two steps forward and one back? But actually I have to say the car looks sensational even without the body on. And how easy is it to get at bits and areas that I could only reach with difficulty before.

Getting the body off was reasonably simple - it took just two of us to do it (this was the first time that it has been off during the build).

While the body is off, I am going to fit all of the (36 pairs of) rod end seals. If I had known that they were needed I would have done this as part of the rolling chassis build. It would have been much easier then. I also have to fit some bolts to the fuel tank, and this can only be done while the body is off.

And as it is so easy to get at everything, I am planning a very busy week or two and want to get as much done as possible and get the body back on again quite quickly. I am sure that will be harder than taking it off.

Cheers,

Richard
