Hi, the facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/Burlingtoncars/
It seems that getting an actual owners' club going keeps failing, so this is what we have currently.

Robin,
considering that Haydn Davies still sells the plans on a DVD, it is surprising that there aren't more Burlingtons about being built.

So we're back to no frame. I can...

Dummy rivets are dummies, holes or not, it's your car. I just wondered why you went to all that trouble for what is effectively a wrong appearance. No skin off my nose.

Why drill holes in the rivets? On an "original car" of this alleged era, the rivets would have been solid, like aircraft rivets, as on D-Type, XJ13, etc.

I think I'd rather have some sort of support frame if only for a little side protection/anti rattle.
Even the plywood Arrow has substantial body frames.

So, bodies only, maybe, but does that mean no frames? In which case it would be a bit of a job mounting the body.

Where do you guys get your different rate springs from?
None on ebay. I'm assuming I have standard Spitfire springs on my Arrow as that's what came with all the bits I have.
