Side Panels
I am looking at starting my side panels in ali, I am not sure if i should panel right up to nose cone or somewhere in the region of FU1 and 2.
Anyone got any help /pics? to help me decide. Cheers

i was wondering this myself, cos as far as i can tell the top and bottom tubes arent parallel towards the front, at least they arent on mine. So how
would a sheet sit on it flat?
im thinking of doing the cockpit sides and then just bending something onto the front as best i can.

I finished mine at the fu bit where the wishbone bracket fastens on. We*tfields are like that. I helped panel a locost to the front and it was awkward
cutting out for the steering rack etc. I fastened my panels on to the sides of the tubes as well, as I was not bothered about the rivets showing. You
don't really notice it until you study closely but it makes the car look narrower.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
