The following sequence of photographic evidence show the bare galvanised chassis on assembly stand where it is built up into a complete ‘Rolling Chassis’

At this stage all the pipe work (cooling, brakes etc) is routed and attached. The front & rear suspension (including the brakes), steering components and the gearshift are attached to make the ‘Rolling Chassis’.
