Problem with taking on a project like this is that one tempted to 'improve'.
George was not noted for his finess - but he did build 18 cars.
I have a couple of photos of the car at that first meeting at Teretonga and the 'baling twine' approach is clearly evident.
Where safety and modern regulations conflict with the original I have had to make changes - but with every attempt to do it 'in period'. For example the aluminium fuel tank (evident in a couple of photo's) I have replaced with a fuel cell from an M1B mould.
