The big issue was sorting out all the components and where they go so the logical thing to do was to reduce the amount of components into sub assemblies such as all the suspension components an put all the fasteners with the corresponding bits which made the search for parts much easier.
I decided that as the bell cranks form part of the asthetics of the engine bay, I would give them a brushed appearance. I made a jig to hold the bell cranks then taped a variety of abrasive grits to a flat marble cutting board and rubbed them to a beautiful brushed look
Once I had the sub assemblies together it was time to assemble to the chassis, this took no time at all. As the nuts are all Nyloc type, a 1/2" ratchet was a great investment cutting the time down no end.
As I started to assemble the Front suspension I came to realise that the body had to be removed from the chassis so I made a movable trolley to sit it on and this has made life so much easier.
Lifting the body of was easy, I just rounded up the guys next door and the job was done, them we had a party
I will leave it here for tonight as there is lots more to come
See you next time
