Thats only 2 weeks worth for Douglas......nights down the local park are his thing!

Do actually have a big steel box outside, better move the paint, thinners, acetone, panel wipe, paraffin, petrol, oil, brake fluid, oily rags, dynamite.....

This is Douglas youre talking about....a month to him is the same as half an hour for you!

Time flies.....had to put the single seater to one side while I build a Fury.

I managed to get the Royale RP29 chassis back into the workshop before Christmas.
Only managed to weld in a couple of engine mounts before the snows arrived.
I seem to have spent the past 5 weeks digging snow out of the drive.

Today I machined up the other three adjustable bushes for the rear mounts on the engine and welded up the front left lower mounting lug on the engine block.

Despite the obvious lack of progress on the Royale, I did manage to build a couple of cars last year, I got the Austin Seven Special finished for Bo'ness and Murray Marshall's Fury was re-chassied and re-bodied.
