Here I go again! This one is going to be somewhat different, as my background of racing other things now means I'm "scratching the itch" in a different way.
The Napier is not intended to be as much a racer as some being built, and is a real Edwardian where the seat base will be above the chassis rails.
Yes, I know the centre of gravity will be high, there are times when I am going to go "green laning". Engine will be near stock.
The "bonnet" and tail structure, as proven by the Stevenson concept will be the major structure, with chassis rails serving as only something to attach bits.
Actual build starts today.
Inspiration below

Great looking car Rhys, look forward to following the build. From the karts that were at Stretton, we don't seem to following the Americans in building as low as possible, more in keeping with the inspiration car. Mine's only as low as it is because that's how the original was, not from any wish to gain a racing advantage (not that I did either, I was the slowest one there).

Got them, and the gauntlets I'm not sure that Stretton would accept them though.

I went and collected my 75/25/1.5 tube an hour or so back. I had forgotten how heavy this stuff is!
There will be quite a bit left over, so if anybody has a need..

Seat fabricated.

Thanks to Adrian who I went to help put his amazing build (hint to Adrian to post some  about it) on it's wheels for the first time, I now have a chassis ready to start bolting bits to.
Still a lot to do, motor cradle, and sort out a steering box as this will have the "upright" look.

Without pictures it's all lies Chris said on that "other forum" once. Yes, that's where the drive unit will live.

I'm a liking this.
