Unfortunately not, there has been another delay, looking like it will be May some time, delay is fine cause I still have to build the garage....just a shame Matt has been let down by MEV.

Got to visit the Exomotive workshop in Atlanta, enthusiastic young guys and they drive Miata road cars, they showed me the laser cut pipes and tubing for the chassis, very nicely made, they actually cut them so they key together, much easier to line up and get the right piece in the right spot.

I've got another reason to visit you Lou!

Looks like there's a lot of helmet clearance!
