Mr T - Well, as they said in Bob's Country Bunker…

"We have both kinds of music here… country and western."

RedRatBike - Cheers & I can't wait to be driving the car on the road either.

I hope today's effort is 'chop chop' enough for you.

Tuesday - Part 1:
I had some unexpected free time at home today, so I tried to make the most of it.

The first thing I did was to change the angle of the body shell extension.



As I figured if the horizontal line turned out not to be quite horizontal it might look a bit odd.

Whereas, if it is clearly at an angle, they the angle will always be correct (if that makes sense).

Next, I decided to consolidate the existing front wheel arch work, before tackling the last pieces of the jigsaw puzzle.

So I started by roughly marking up and cutting out the return lip.



Note: I will be tidying up the edge at some point.



Doing this job now reduces the amount of grinding needed on the "mis-matched" pieces.





I often refer to this 'cutting & shutting' work as surgery and it does feel like a medical procedure.

The wound has been stitched together on the inside.



So now it was time to remove the "bandages".



Unfortunately, just like real surgery on TV, some times it is better to just turn away, rather than watch.

As the photo of the "open wounds" is certainly not pretty.



End of Part 1…
