Cheers Mark.Yes even though we have a good haul of original Spit parts the providence trail is way to fragile to even consider an ID..But we are hoping to get as close as we can to a Restored one.Oh yes to all the eagle eyed guys out there we need a datum measurement for Frame 18..This is just a trial fitting to eye off along the frames to double check our 3D model.

QldSpitty,

It looks great and good luck with the project.

By the way, well done to the group for presenting the project as a reproduction (using original parts) rather than a restoration.

It doesnt take anything away from the effort and accuracy of construction to do so, but unfortunately so many projects do falsely make claims to be restorations.

regards

Mark Pilkington
