            More progress while waiting for more supplies, After some research of Orig pics I decided to go with a real wood floor ,The frame for the windscreen was so fragile it broke in about 4 pcs. so I made one out of some square brass stock .Click image for larger version

                Nice progress Mark. The real wood floor is a good idea.

                            Traditional coachbuilding techniques I think Paul. Morgan’s, and first production run XK 120s have ash framed bodies as well.
