Went over to The Isle of Sheppey after work today.
I had decided to ask my friend Darren at Unit Engineering to make and adapt the new fuel tank to MX5 hardware.
Price to be confirmed on completion.
A typical old skool Rodder, he runs a few cars, well known down this way.
One of my all time favourites since childhood.
Firenza.
Then this 1000bhp when on Nitrous Chrysler Valiant.
And his Ford Pop.
And his current sideline build, a V8 chopped Beetle.
Funny how great minds think alike.
I really wanted to add a grenade shifter knob to the Rezin Rockit as well.
So I think we are going in the right direction.
One of the things I want on the front screen is a visor.
So Darren let me use his machines and tools to cut and fold a basic visor, which needs finishing and mounting.
Rather large cutter……..
Measure, fold, measure, fold, measure and fold…….
And done.
For now, but it needs some trimming and the angle of the visor cap to be changed.
As well as a bunch of holes and dimple dies to be added.
Should work OK.
Once done, a coffee and cake, and I was on my way, knowing the traffic had died down.
Fooled………
120 minute delay after a motor vehicle accident.
Road closed.
Burger !
Eventually back home I unpacked and had to go look to see how the initial mock up looks.
Angle needs to be changed with the peak dropping quite a bit lower, and also some large dimple die holes punched in the whole length.
Ready for bed, it was a long day.
Later.
