Dash Panel
Sunday, August 9th, 2009After fitting in the wheel arch ducts I changed my mind over the previous panel for the dash. Instead of the curved panel, which would have required a couple of other panels to fill in the lower area of the dash I have decided to make a new panel which fits between the wheel arch ducts. This means less work AND less weight, so its a real winner! First, was to get the profile of the body where it was going to fit. To do this I stuck some cardboard onto the front of the spider section and just traced over it with a felt marker.
Rear Body Section
Sunday, August 9th, 2009I noticed when I put the wheels on the car that when in full droop, the rear of the rear wheels touched the body. This is unlikely to be a problem when going the round the circuit, as in all honesty it would just wear through pretty quickly! However, when putting the wheels on and off in the paddock it would almost be impossible. So I decided to just trim away a little clearance.
