Got the mould box done. Just need to sort the partition mounting.

Got the sump inner core pattern assembled and painted. Should be a lot easier to sand than the outer pattern!

This gives a visual on what its making. The main inner core. A couple of smaller cores attach to it.

Chassis Update:

My Dads been working away on this when he has a spare minute.

Been making various press tools and working out a process.

Starting to look like a chassis rail! Not the easiest way of doing it but definitely the most authentic! 

Also if anyone needs a clock or a barometer restored hes your go to. As long as it doesnt take away chassis building time!

Main inner core pattern is complete. Will most likely do a partition in the middle of this one too.

The last inner core patterns prepped.

Now just have the runner pattern and box to figure out.

Did an awesome trade today. I now have a T57 crankshaft.

Pretty lucky that it was less than 2hours away from me and the guy was awesome. Traded a bunch of my Lotus stuff + few $, he definitely did me a solid!
