A plan coming together Nick. I like it. How many turns of the
steering wheel lock to lock have you achieved with the drill?

Hi Jim, the steering goes from lock to lock with just over 1/2 a
turn of the steering wheel.
Cheers Nick

Starting to look sexy Nick, those dolly wheels are available
free from Tesco and Asda but you have to pay a quid for four of
them at Aldi ;D ;) ;) ;)
Have you calculated the weight of all those holes yet ;D

The Wasp gets some coach paint. Also rear view mirror, this was
the 1st car ever to have a rear view mirror. Because the
organisers allowed this it became the 1st single seat race car
ever , all the others had on board mechanics. Because of the
weight saving & clever tactics the Wasp was also winner of the
1st Indianapolis 500 May 1911.

Wow. That is going to be really striking and I expect it will
be a real crowd puller. Nice work

It is easy to see now why you were drawn to building this car,
it really is quite something! The bit of history about the rear
view mirror is interesting - do you look underneath it?
