It's All Relative:
Whilst I might moan about my lack of progress since Christmas, spare a thought for this poor chap in America...
Regular readers may know that I love this '33 Hot Rod kit.
Well, this particular builder had amassed 3,500 hours on his build to reach this point (the body work is out of shot).
( There was a lot of bespoke fabrication similar to
Swifty's approach. )
Whilst working in his garage, a stray spark caused this.
Leaving his build looking like this.
By the sounds of it, he was very lucky to escape the fire alive and seems very positive about "Build 2.0".
He figures that second time around he could save 2,000 hours based on the lessons learnt.
In addition, he has decided to build a completely different body shell in aluminium from scratch.
And this is what he is aiming for.
I wish him all the best.

Also from the same American website, someone else posted this video from the 1961 Jaguar Mk2 Production Line.
