Whereas I'm wondering how the engine can be removed, if that's required for any reason?
Not to mention that it's going to be fun trying to do any work on the brakes or gearbox, never mind what's going to happen if the original chassis ever decides to let go. That has been known to happen, iirc...

All 'A' series vehicles were designed with the body as a separate unit from the chassis, with detachable panels for ease of access or repair and it's a good idea to keep than in mind when creating a 'one-off' special.

ken.

Guys, Harley/Ken, the whole front section of the KUBEL has been designed so that it can be removed by taking out 10 bolts. It will have a normal type bonnet which can be lifted to get at the oil level and brake pads etc but if anything like a clutch or gearbox is needed then the whole front end including both the wings, headlamps,front panel and front bumper will come off in one piece.

Yes Ken the chassis will rust one day but its in very good condition and before i have finished it will be undersealed with anti rust treatment.
It also wont have a roof/hood either, so i wont be taking it out in the rain much, so that should help a lot Very Happy Very Happy

Thanks for all the encouragement guys,

cheers, Tony.

Oh and Harley, it will have a front panel like the original KUBEL but with some holes drilled in it to allow the air through. Also the sides of the engine area will be open so when the car is driving along it should get plenty of air (i hope Wink ). Very Happy
