37 Ford - one off
Hi,
I am hand building a scale 37 Ford body over a Locost / Haynes Roadster style chassis. In case you not familiar with them they are a Lotus Super 7 type chassis. The chassis is already 95% done - 3.5 V8 and cosworth 4x4 running gear. It has In-board cantilever suspension and most bits are custom made. I've just started building the buck for the body. The buck might end up as the buck for a steel framed buck - who knows  The steel body will be formed on a home-made English wheel.

very cool, will follow with interest as i'm a bit of a fan of the 37 ford woody and luckily i had the chance to do a little work on a genuine rhd woody that was imported new from the states and built on a rhd chassis back in 1938. hence where my scale model 37 woody got its inspiration.
how long have you been at it so far? oh and err hello...

Hi Mark,
Welcome to the forum, looks like a challenging project. With regard to the chassis, did you have to beef it up to allow for a steel body, I'd have thought it would be about twice the weight of a locost body? I had a look at your website, what software do you use?

Hi & welcome Mark!
Interesting projects - I've often wondered why we don't see more alternative bodies based on the Locost frame concept...
