Roadster is on a distinguished road

Spent day down with Chris and Dan yesterday.
While the weather up in London was poor I managed to get burnt working at the "dream factory"

Chris and Dan were hard at it as always with various projects.
My son is off on half term so I took him to help me.

My original roadster took me 4 years to complete - as it came together it changed directions a few times.
This one is no different (except im sharing my changes of direction with you guys)
The z300 base of my build has its roots in the D type Jag - Its curved rump and hunched rear arches are what drew me to it. Its also the part of the design that's never changed.

I tried to use small light units to make it easier to fit the complex compound curves. But I was never really happy with them . Even when I tried to defend them against negative comments last year.

So after a few attempts of different lamps I finally ended up with Puma lamps.
Albeit modified to clear lenses to change their identity.
