And so the cutathon begins!!
Firstly I cleaned the shell so the tape would stick then taped up where the cut needed to be so I could use a biro to give me a nice sharp line to cut to
Then I carefully measure the 3 inch width I wanted along the side of the body and threw a line at the back keeping it to the existing return.
Next I used a 5 litre paint tin to get a nice radius at the back and then used a steel ruler clamped to the front dash area then bent to meet the new side to give me a nice caurve.
Sorry if the pictures aren't as clear as they could be but wanted to get it cut out before the light went outside as I didn't want to be cutting inside and cover everything with fibreglass dust.
Then it was out with the cutting implement and off I went!
Well there is no going back now! Hopefully Sean next door will be in tomorrow so I can wheel it round to him to reform the return for me using leftovers next time he is making anything. If he cant do it ASAP ill just do it myself but I would rather be cracking on with the steering than up to my pits in fibreglass! :-)
