30 April 2007

So welcome back to a strangely prompt update this month! As can be seen a lot has happened this month. All the rear lower deck supports are now in and some of the conduit tubing that houses the electrics can also be seen.

The battery cradle is now in position as are the rear lights and number plate (which was placed there to see if the drawings are accurate and it fits (!) looked good so we left it in for the photos!). Above the window line the horizontals have also gone in making it look less like a toast rack and is it me or is it just starting to look like a 2RT2? The next jobs will be to start putting in the ceiling and intermediate floor, quite a large job that won’t be completed for next month I suspect as most of it needs to be cut and shaped. If however it is we will then start on putting the staircase back in to allow us to then begin the upstairs and it is at that time that we will start to tackle the cab area which is presently supported by means of a jack but should in reality gain its strength and support from the upper deck.

One person this month asked how we intend to ‘launch’ RT8 when its finished and to be honest not something I’d really thought about, any one got any great ideas on how she should debut?
