Then the body went on!!

Was glassed in place along both sides and also along the front edges. Even though i'd bonded those with Tiger Seal i saw no harm in this to give extra strength. Note the large strap holding everything in place at the right angles. The guys from Sammio said one, i found that one large one in the middle and one smaller one around the front edge of the shell worked best for me. But each to their own:



Bubble wrap the steering column if you plan to do any work 'in' the car. Trust me on this one!



Trial fitting the side panels, note the start of the mods for the seat belts. That was enlarged as you'll see in later pics. You'll also notice that i'm fitting the panels "inside" the top lip of the body tub. This is due to the size of the seats i'm using and the seat belts. Lots of trial fitting of belts and seats was done before i came to this conclusion and it seems to work well!
