Hi all, here is what you get for the coil springs in this kit,
after hunting through my springs collection I found these
I'm a bit disappointed they don't show up more

A huge improvement over what comes in the kit and I agree, it is a shame they are not more visible!

the kit springs are naff, the springs you put on are a lot better, i agree it`s a pity you can only see a very small part of them

re the door handles you could keep them on the same level as they are but move them to the middle of the door, on the merc. i did with gull wing doors the handle was at the bottom of the door, but as it is a custom job it is entirely up to yourself where you put them as there is no right or wrong place for them, you are doing a grand job so far hope to see more soon

Hi all been adding some detail from all the reference pics I've got they all show this with servo assisted breaks, this is what the kit supplies
So I acquired this off my missus favorite tipple (she is Scottish)
After a little sanding and a crease in the right place
I've no idea where a lot of these pipes go as I've not got enough ref pics so I've guesstimatedÂ

Is that top from a bottle of Famous Grouse per chance?
It's made a great brake servo and the engine bay of the 'Vette is looking superb.

It's one of my missus tops I cut up, she was a bit cross as she was wearing it at the time.
