Thank you Andy. Here's to healthy competition

[QUOTE=Tribute Automotive;39828]Hi Froggy, Which TVR? This one?

Yes this one. Are you going to market it.

I especially like your photoshop with the Aston front.

Tribute Automotive · #**164** 3rd February 2013, 22:15

Yes we will be marketing the shells, keep an eye on the " 1950's Special - Microplas Mistral " tread.

The Mistral moulds will be with us next weekend, so first pull out of them should follow soon after. Price to follow shortly.

Hi Chris any update on this. Interested to know how the extended A352 fitted with regards to any chassis parts needing to fall off etc. Cheers.

Hi Froggy

I will chase this up and see if the body is on the chassis yet, it's local so will go and take some pictures.

Another A352 going out the door next week, this time to France, and a 2" narrowed D Type shell on a Spitfire rolling shell also heading across the channel.

Hi Chris,

Excellent Works!

Regards

patoune · #**168** 15th February 2013, 20:28

Chassis is ready. Just waiting the shell!

Craig C · #**169** 16th February 2013, 04:00

Patoun: What's with the doubled, boxed centre outriggers on that chassis? Most interesting...

Chris: Can we see a side by side comparison of the 2" vs 4" narrowing?

Craig

PS any luck with a freight quote to Adelaide yet?

patoune · #**170** 16th February 2013, 18:59

Hi Craig C

we wanted to keep the proportions of the body,
passing the Triumph Spitfire Wheelbase from 83 to 90 "and reduce width of 2"

patoune · #**171** 16th February 2013, 19:00

Sorry, only reduce the shell of 2"...

For such a small door, there is a lot of steel and fabrication in the A352 Door bars and hinges

There are some lovely detail photo's if you go back through the tread

I wonder if he ever built it?

patoune · #**176** 20th February 2013, 19:50

570 Miles later… No part missing !

Undressing, removing the body

Laying his body on new chassis

Trying on session

It’s ok, can continue

more like 2-3 days if Patoune's last build was anything to go by.
