I´ve been looking into building a kit for a few years, swinging back and forth between a cobra and a GT40, with the Cobra being the "easy way" and me thinking of the GT as the "harder way".
I have never done any bodywork on a car before. I am an aircraft mechanic (certified tech actually) and I am familiar although not experienced with alu panel work and riveting. I have also done quite a bit of sanding, filling and roll-painting on our aircrafts composites - so I can do surface prep.
How difficult is the adjustment and fitting of the body on these cars - the SGT40 in particular? Are all body parts "rough cut" and need final trimming from the builder?
How is the clips attached to hinges and latches? Anyone have any good photos?
I would really appreciate some photos showing how the inside of the clips are made/finished, arches, double panels, vents etc or just a single layer of "open" matting?
Best regards
