I was trying to do this with a big upload of photos or videos. Well, I made one video and I didn't upload the ton of pictures I have. This is a long story so let's begin.
I have come a long way since opening up this can of worm and it's a list of mostly preparations. I.E. tools.
I became impressed with the knife makers belt grinders from Forged in Fire. So I made one.
I was needing a beadroller and was Jere Kirkpatrick gave me a bunch of ideas for one. I ordered the Woodward Fab one and proceeded to mod the daylights out of it. Then I needed an English wheel. I got some 3"x2-3/8" I beams from the cut-off at my local metal supply. I had limitations from length but I designed a good benchtop 3" wide 8" diameter wheel and spent the most time on the adjusting mechanism. I welded scrap discs from work together and made my upper wheel. That gave me a taste and I opted out of making the anvils, so I bought a set of Metal Ace anvil wheels. Once I boxed in the I beams, this became a very nice setup.
I bought the chassis and miscellaneous plans from Chuck Cobra and scored a fiberglass Shelby American body that was slightly damaged from hitting a wall at PIR.
I've been running small tests for the bodywork in 3003. I'll get some tests in with riveting and skinning soon.
This is the video of where I'm at with the pedal box. I could sneak this in without saying "I've started the chassis." Send Cut Send cut and bent these pieces.

I'll add the photos when I have more time.
