Hey all,

Once again, have finally got a bit of time to upload some photos so thought I'd post some of the work I have been doing lately. Have got a few of 57 Chev builds that I've been doing work for, so will start with those.

Did the pattern work, mould and final parts for this radiator duct and inner guards:

Yeh it takes a bit of getting used to when you normally work with carbon. It's strange for a twill to be stiff as a board and have absolutely 0 drape, and if you do pull any fibres then you end up with see-through patches, so it's tricky. Even the radiator duct and inner guards had a good degree of drape to them, and were much harder than they would have been with carbon. 

Brian, sorry for the late reply, I missed your post. The binnacle definitely isn't one piece, it's actually 24 pieces.
