Here goes with Number 3

Postby PaulC » Thu May 31, 2007 5:18 pm

Here's a pic of the profile I've cut out for my Number 3 build:

This was taken before I sanded the edges to get rid of the pointy bits 8)

The chassis is done and it is only 6' long to allow for the bottom curves.
This will be an 8x4 onroader.
And for those who are observant, yes, my builds are gradually getting smaller :lol:

Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

Paul, you need to shake them up a little bit down there, by building your own Winter Warrior. Those Innovan guys need a little competition. If you need my math data, just let me know.

Dear Paul,

Go for it, Winter is just starting. You could have number 7 completed before New Years, if you are lucky.
Regards,

Guy
