    So spent this afternoon undoing what I did last weekend! Had a long hard think and wasn't happy with the 1st design so have gone with this now...






    By doing this it will be easier to make the bulkhead and I will put another horizontal in in the old position too and link it up to it further, following the profile of the a-pillers. And if my guesserments are correct the new horizontal will also be in a good spot for gearbox clearance and the tunnel opening. Obviously still needs the sides of the tunnel.

    Small update from this afternoons work.


    Started by making the 2 diagonals that tie the bulkhead into the chassis rails, mounting just before the subframe mounts...







    I then drilled out the top subframe mount holes in order to insert some crush tubes, this will be welded in later...







    Next up was to start making my turret tops. Sadly my 86mm hole saw has seen better days so had to stop but plan on sourcing a new one tomorrow! So got all the subframe and jig all mounted up ready to go...








    More soon hopefully! Really want the front end done now.

    Been cracking on with the turret tops the last couple of evenings.


    Finished off cutting the centre 86mm holes with my new bit then tested them for fitment...







    The holes all lined up so then I trimmed them into circles...







    Then added skirts...







    And two tacked up turret tops...







    They now need welding all the way round and cleaning up but ran out of time tonight. Also to be honest I'm not 100% happy with them as they're not perfect circles. Thinking of remaking them but we'll see!


    Thanks for looking.

    While I wait for my new strut tops to be made I've been cracking on with some more tubing. Getting there slowly...
