Hi All
Been Kerfing and swearing today. After a few days making the seat frame and front floor sections I bit the bullet and had a go at fitting the side ply panels. These will be attacked with a hole and jig saw to make a ply skeleton over which some thin ply will be glued.
The ply is 12mm and even so needed "kerfing" cuts at about 3/4" to pull into the curve at the rear of the car. Next stage is to glue the kerfed ply and leave for a day or so before cutting into it. I'll be busy doing the other side and seeing if I can "Kerf" the scuttle top. There is quite a sharp curve here and I may have to build up by glueing thinner ply together.
Cheers
Howard
