...a week or so later I was called and emailed some photos by Jon of things taking shape.
This was a watershed phone call as it was the one last hurdle to getting this thing up and running - for them to have the engine was vital to ensuring it was going to work and I wasn't on a hiding to nothing.
So as suspected with my wider than most transmission the key thing he needed to do was to widen the gap between the inner rails to accomodate the transmission girth at an appropriate height.
From the photos this work has been started. Clearly the floor plates are missing and other braces but this is the important part.
Once the rest of the chassis is welded up the body will be mated onto the revised tunnel shape and then 'pre-fitted'
After that the body comes off again and the custom exhausts will be made.
