Build Day 55



Build time today 1.0 hours - Total build time 146.0 hours.
Man time today 1.5 hours - Total man time 167.5 hours.

Bodywork fitted, it did not take long, no more than 5 minutes and it was on. Quite a lot of force was used, more than I would have been happy to use but surprisingly if fits. I still am not sure how much it stretches.

















Spent some time in the eventing cutting the clearance holes in the sides that allow the scuttle to be attached. There are two rivet nuts on either side and the body work needs to be cut to clear them. For the two closed to the front of the chassis I had enough play in the side bodywork to pull clear of the chassis and use a small holes saw, the the other two I pushed a piece of aluminium off cut between the chassis and body work and used a small drill to cut a ring of holes before using my Dremel to finish.
I finished for the evening not totally happy with the fit of the scuttle as the front cornet of the passenger side would not sit flush with the side.
