Re: Rcr40-31

More fun with fiberglass this week.

Gauges in - check
Rear clip vent cut out - check
Taillights installed - check
Pedal box built up - check
Headlamp and driving light covers fit up - check
Headlamp holes cut out - check
Box with bunch of wires in it opened - check (what to do with it next???)
Filler caps located - check

Looking more and more like an actual car - priceless

Also included is additional random imagery, like more wiring mess and my home-made totally ergonomic front clip workstation. Enjoy, and as usual any suggestions appreciated.

Also FWIW, my handheld electric angle grinder did wonders on trimming the lamp covers. It was magical. I stenciled the headlamp openings with a piece of paper and cut it to very near net shape and finished the job with a hand file to trim it up. Work? Yeah, but I did both sides in about an hour and a half (including setup of that high tech egro fixturing).

The wiring and bodywork is what I have been dreading. So far so good, but credit a strong package off the shelf which has so far enabled me to be where I am already.
