    Re: Body Panels

    I'll have to have a close look at 2 tonight, there are mould marks between the B post side panels and the roof, probably where Gerry splits his moulds, the return edges and deep recess for the front wheel arch bubbles made me think LB but it looks like a hybrid set now. How long before we see it's chassis? Or is the builder expected to make that? Not many takers I suspect?

    Front clam leading edge looks true so don't think The front is Hawk based.

    Hi Guy, by "deep recess" do you mean the height from the body surface to the arch in this area?

    The returns I guess were specific to Corse & LB until now. I wonder if the chassis is original or GTO-Tech?

    The main photo on the ebay listing shows a steel tube rack and one end of a wheeled (orangey red coloured) shell 'spit'/'rotisserie'.
    So it's a place where there's some steel fabrication going on.

    Yes Craig.

    I think we need someone in that neck of the woods to go look see what's going on? Any volunteers?

    Gerry's chassis fabricator is also based in High Wycombe. I have been over a few times as they reworked my chassis but the site in the pictures doesn't look familiar. I live very close so I will try and find out more info if I can.

    It's not Gerry's fabricator selling them, already confirmed by email with Gerry, not his panels.

    I can take a look as Wycombe is just up the road from me, but not back in the UK until the 7th.
