Progress is good. Managed to source a steel stockholder, a powder coater and an engineering company, all within a 10 mile radius of home. Have bought 18 meters of 38.1 mm (10 guage) seamless tube which will form the main tubes of the chassis.
Cutting list has been prepared for the main section and I'm ready to start cutting, bending and saddling the tube.
Woot! :)
On the other hand, the progress on the motor is slow. The most difficult problem is sourcing parts. Ordinary stuff like gasket sets, ancillary engine parts are just SOOOO difficult to find! I never really took this into account when deciding on the Alfa boxer motor but thinking about it now, the design IS 20 - 30 years old.
Generally though, things are happening at a dizzying rate of knots. I love it whwn a plan comes together! :)
