FABRICATION
Within a few days of sending parts out they quickly were coming back to the workshop and Mark and Robert began the install for the rolling chassis that I requested.


The Belly Pan installed the chassis could be flipped over and the installation of suspension, brakes and drive components began. It is remarkable sitting here in Japan and seeing the photographs and talking to Mark and Robert about the progress. I cannot say enough how impressed I am with the total dedication and professionalism that continues through this progress – simply a passion for these remarkable cars.

PAINTING AND POWDER COATING
With the chassis and components all completed, fitted for any tweaking all the bits and pieces were soon outside the workshop ready to be sent off to the powder coaters and painters respectively.


July has been a process of emails arriving with a simply instruction from the McGregor Team, “decision time – please call.” My latest high tech toy, the iPhone G3s being wireless compatible allows SKYPE to be my instant communicator. From paint colors, dash configurations, tire selection all requests were answered in numerous locations through out Japan.
