Cockpit/Coffin
A rough mock-up just to make sure I’ll fit.

Master cylinders.
A nice Craigslist find. The guy selling them actually bought them for a 7.
Picked up a nice set of Cortina GT wheels from Cortina Phil. 13 x 4.5, not to fat, not to thin. Extra bonus, they’re all date coded to 1969, that’s just about right for the look I’m going for.
Spitfire steering rack. Hope I can get it back together!
Once I figured out the geometry, I had these custom made by Xtra Special Sevens.
Sourced Xtra Special Sevens in England. Poor man’s measuring jig. Figuring out some suspension geometry.
Craigslist find. Discovered a guy with multiple garages full of triumph bits. I’m using Triumph Spitfire uprights.
This chassis is a hybrid using multiple sources. S2, DSK, Prince, etc. Trying to stay as close as possible to original S2/S3 chassis proportions, especially keeping a low hood line. Stretching a few tings just enough so I can actually fit in it and drive comfortably. Although “comfort” is a relative term.
