Some more panels

Back from New York.

It is cold and raining. I unpack the big box only to find the parts I really wanted (master cylinders, wishbones, uprights, brakes, differential) were not there. Mr. Angry sends another e-mail to Westfield/Manik. How they must look forward to hearing from me.

At least I have a propshaft, harnesses, missing ARB hardware and a bunch of other stuff now.

I celebrate by fitting more panels in the rain. When I decided to do some of the build outside, it never occurred to me I could get wet. This is Arizona after all. Luckily, the chassis is under cover in the courtyard.

The holes for the master cylinders don't line up -  if the panels were moved over to align, some of the holes in the panel for the rivets would miss the chassis rail. Not a big deal, as the RHS holes will be blanked off (if I ever get the plates) and I need to open new holes on the LHS for the dual master brake cylinders and bias bar.

Held in with Clecos for this reason and for the drilling of the hole for the steering column - not sure if I will try to fit it exactly or make a larger hole and use a grommet as suggested in the manual - my guess is it will start out as the former and end with the latter!

Break off for the day and move into the Rocks. We had reserved a week there because we thought the kitchen renovation would have started by now. Mr. Angry has written lots of e-mails on that topic!
