A

phone call from John at Crendon advised me that the rolling chassis was almost complete and did I want to get some photographs before the bodyshell was fitted. Did I ever! Jill and I visited Crendon and took loads of photographs.


Axle
Axle ~ 297kb
The axle is shown here. A Jaguar assembly clearly showing the rear inboard brakes.
Front end
Frontend ~ 232kb
The front wheel, without the shock fitted. Again Jag front end is used with modified top wishbone. The piece of wood and string pictured in the foreground is used to help with body alignment - a simple but effective solution to achieving accurate body alignment.
Suspension
Suspension ~ 277kb
A close up of the front suspension, showing modified wishbone and Jag brakes etc.
Wheel
Wheel ~ 272kb
A close up shot of the Halibrand replicas (spinner not yet fitted). I can't get over the size and the amount of rubber on these babies. The rear tyres are 255's.
Wide
Body above chassis ~ 235kb A wide angle shot showing the body suspended over the chassis, just before it was lowered into place.
