Don't panic Mr Mainwaring - Take deep breaths, count all your bits and sort them out in order together with the build manual      

Keep a bottle of Scotch close by and go for it    

[markg]

stock up on the chocolate "suggestives" and tea bags have a look, ask lots of questions and then have a brew and think about it! if you take your time you will end up with a good car!

My tip would be to read the manual and then decide in what order you need to do things – I started with the panelling   but should have put the fuel, brake lines and wiring loom in first.

Don’t run the fuel and brake lines under the floor put them in the transmission tunnel.  

Use stick-o-flex or  panel adhesive / sealant  to stick the panels in place and if you are planning to run the car without internal trim  you will need to panel the outside of the cockpit as you can see the floor and rear wheel through the gap in the body work.  Invest in a good set of drill bits.

Enjoy pulling rivets….
