Bin men have come and gone, took everything but a shortbread package which may have frozen to the inside of the bin.
 
Switched to working on the drawings for the Higman model.

Seems like the chassis width *IS* 24 inches after all, as the rear and side projections now match. :girldance:

Not yet sure what the wheelbase actually comes out as. Apparently it varied quite a bit on cars of that era, so much so that the Old Skool blokes are having a raging debate about it without coming to a definitive conclusion. :laugh: But a friend identified the make and size of wheels, so I'm now using the wheel rim diameter to cross-check the dimensions of the side projection and I'll let the wheelbase fall where it will. :blush:

More snow overnight which has now turned to rain so will be horrendous to walk in. No chance of any more sleep so what to do. I suspect several cuppas, more browsing and some inane games on the iPad :laugh:
