after too many months (well maybe years) the frame is finaly getting started, the beams to make the jig arrived thursday night so i spent all weekend getting them set up flat and square . here are a few pics if the first tubes tacked in place, all being well i should have something that resembles a frame by the end of january. watch this space.

Thats gonna be a fun job Trev, what you making it out of CDS or Moly? after seeing all the tubes etc in our chasis i wouldnt know where to start,

its only steel, couldnt afford molly, its a kit (well its a pile of pipe and some drawings ) i have about 6 dimensions to work to the rest is up to me, im looking forward to the challenge. as it takes shape i will post more pics.

"Can you guess what it is yet???"

Saw it tonight, looking good, only about another 150 joints to cut.....

Big Meccano!!!
I shall enjoy watching this take shape mate

Now this IS interesting! Keeping that welder and the camera flashing Trev!

Wow, you av started it at long last

And you have cleared your garage - or did you get burgled

Trev, were those joints notched already, or did you do it?

If so, how?

I was just about to ask exactly the same thing.

I know you can get a pro tool for doing it.

You use one of these, every tube needs to be trimmed and notched to suit.

You can use it in a piller drill or even just clamp it to the tube and use a cordless drill, dead easy, it's as accurate as your measuring.

Does that link work for anyone else? I can't view it, but then my 'pooter is cack.

Linky no worky here
Found this one,
