Glad to have you all along for the ride!
More nice progress Chris. That front end is really taking shape now!!Bill
More great progress, Chris.The whaleboat looks to be plank on frame? So what kind of sports car does a person need?Jim

So what kind of sports car does a person need?JimThe whaleboat is plank on frame. They were an interesting design, partly lapstrake, partly a variant of carvel planking. The middle planks were butted like carvel planks, but since they were thin like lapstrake, they used a batten on the inside to strengthen them. The uppermost and lowest planks were normal lapstrake. This combination kept weight down but strength and repairability up.And most any sports car will do. I am partial to 2 seater convertibles.
Hi Jim, One like this? Sorry you would have to repaint it!Cheers Kerrin
