Started on the bonnet.

The shut lines were alittle large so needed trimming.

Before.


After.


With the old KISS in mind I used a simple "L" bracket from the chassis edge, again using a pre-drilled and bolted hole, to the bonnet bottom lip.







As you can see from the second photo the bonnet just misses the front tyres when opened.

I'll reinforce the lip later and also fit a adjoining supporting bracket but on the whole it's not a bad fit.


By extending the wood packing all the way across the rear chassis the rear of the body tub is better supported.



That's most of the major body fitting done and so far I'm pleased with the results.



I can now think about bonding and bolting the body in place.
