Doing bodywork

[geeman]

Ok, well im mock fitting the bodywork now, ive got full Fiberglas set from titron. I was wondering for the side panels, for cutting holes for the front wishbone/steering setup, should i have seen people have cut seperate holes for each thing coming through the chassis, but is there anything bad about just cutting a large section of the side panel off, so i dont have to spend extra time cutting and finishing loads of holes?

-Engage helpfull mode - Put the effort in, it's not worth shortcuttign it, you will end up looking at it and thinking it looks bad, and there's only one person you can point the finger at.. - disengage helpful mode -

thought as much, its just i did the right side panel today, and did each hole separately, only to find i have to make one hole slightly larger as i had cut it slightly off, which p'ed me off a bit, so i thought i could just cut a giant, hole, guess ill do it properly then

I might be wrong, but I think Roadster No. 1 has huge holes judging by the photos in the book.

ok, im mock fitting the firbreglass rear tub and arches now, should i just cut a big hole out of the rear tub for the wishbones, and how should i mount the rear arches?
