Rich Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Looks like they winched it up from the front to get it on the stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_r Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Wood is strong Tony. And cars back then had wood chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Very true, even today many kit cars hold a host wood types... I'm not sure i would trust the grain over my head though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Morgan has a wooden chassis too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagitar Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Morgan has a wooden chassis too. I don't think that is true. As far as I am aware, they have always had a conventional steel chassis. I think there may be confusion with the body frame, which was usually made from Ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just googled it, you are correct Sagitar. Thanks for enlightening me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Still they are the only car to fail an MOT due to woodworm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagitar Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think termites are a bigger problem in some countries such as the USA and Australia. I've also heard that Morgan treat their ash frames with Cuprinol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 That wouldn't surprise me at all...Mind you woodworking is very much an art i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
