Thank you Jamie,
Yes, I do agree with you that wood should be the way to go, especially with today's modern laminates making structures much stronger than they would have originally have been, plus, I did fancy a go at a bit of wood "steaming"
The back end you show is something along the lines that I did have in mind, maybe slightly more tapered, the deciding factor will probably be the spare wheel, I would like to put it in a boot, as opposed to on the left hand side, where it was originally.
I still have a couple of weeks of mechanical work yet before I can start on any body fabrication, engine assembly to complete, rear axle to mount and then a fuel tank to fabricate.

This is what it should look like, I only have a couple of chassis mounting brackets. Would you recommend soldering the tank together, something that I have never tried on this scale, or welding, along with the distortion that it causes? Once again, thank you all for your input,
Andrew.
