My brandywine with blue pearl 408 roadster
It seems like just yesterday Oct 12th I received my roadster and lots of things have gone very well. Recently I have completed the brake system this was a great challenge as I have never bent tubing and I really wanted them to be perfect. After lots of reading this forum and YouTube and lots of hours calculateing every bend I managed to get it right the first time. I've started the wiring and finishing the panels up lots of rivets as my grandson said. I feel the progress will slow now that I'm getting into more detailed aspect of the build. Like how should I design this so I can repair it easily, you know it's bound to happen.

Looking good! Take your time. Savor each task. It will be over before you know it. Remember this is about the process. The result is just a bonus!

x 2! It was a bit of a letdown when I posted my 'Graduation' on the old forum, when I completed my MkIII nearly 20 years ago...I missed building almost immediately. Now on my MkIV, I'm savoring every task, and I don't want it to end! I don't really care if I ever drive this thing...building is just so much fun!

Where are you planning to mount your battery? If you are going to use the breeze front mount, you might want to relocate your brake line. If not, it looks good.
