Saturday - Part 2:
The fit at the rear edge needed to be flatter in the middle.
But the front edge was a long way off.
This was because at this point, the body shell curves both top to bottom AND front to back.
So I decided it would make sense to relocate my metal working equipment.
To the side of the car.
But, before I did the final round of hammering, I rounded off the corners of the base plate.
Then I could hammer, test and repeat until I had a good fit on all four edges.
Note: I will be using a thin layer of rubber under the plate when it is finally fitted.
Too many other things to do today to progress any further with this, but it is nice to have started.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
PS
When searching for the LeMans photos I posted the other day, this popped up.
An artist's impression of what a DB5 drift car would look like if crossed with a WWII Spitfire.
