      That’s why we do these things.
      Keep on keeping on and don’t loose hope!
      You will get there and Al is absolutely right, there’s nothing like driving your own car.

    Thank you so much for doing this. The information is really useful, especially Al's pdf.
    Is there any concern about galvanic corrosion between the aluminum and steel?
    All the best, Dan

      My space frame is powder coated so it’s a bit of a different issue.
      Been like that for 17 years now and no issues.
      Al is the guy who can comment better on this issue so I will have a chat.

    I really like the finish of all the cars. On th red one i was surpised how good the louvres look on the outside of the bonnet (hood) using his method. Red also looks surprisingly good. I must admit not keen on the finish of the abs boot (trunk) cover or the fact it is not water tight. The finish around the corners looks really bad (at least on camera). Also not a fan of the rear bumper, i realise why he did it but i would risk it and run without one personally. Green car is very nice indeed.

    I don’t know if this is appropriate or not but there is a full build serious of a real super 7 on my UA-cam channel (my uncle’s car and his build).
