More stuff .
Will need to cut things up to get back to something to work with.
One side (right ) is OK but the other is way out of Wack.
Will not be 100% but close.

[B85]

Here is a better photo of the cut.

[B85]

Had a good day. Started on the left aluminum.
Lots of holes and Cleco's.
Still some trimming and glass work . Got to fill the hole.

[B85]

To be filled .

[B85]

Right side is fitted and ready for trimming.

Also need to make the right arm cutout.

You will probably require a removable section of the fender skirt to change a rear tire, with an overlap tab on the removal section along the top and a dzus screw on each end at least a couple inches forward and behind the tire for clearance.

[B85]

Won't need to do that. The hole rear body tips to the rear for tire changing.

[B85]

More ?

[B85]

Trying to figure out the panels ?

[B85]

Installed the left rear cab panel.
Now on to the other and center.

[B85]

More drilling.

[B85]

Been thinking about a set of bomber seat ?
What do you think ?

[KB58]

That's fine - as long as head restraint is present, perhaps mounted to the roll hoop.

[B85]

Good point.
I'm going to use the rear faring for that. Its part of part of the rear shell .
Going to try not to use the rollbar for it ?

Is the fiberglass tail assembly capable of stopping your head hitting it at, say, 20-30 mph? Serious question since that could happen if the car gets rear-ended or spins backwards into something. A cushion would slow the impact, but my concern is that a 10-lb head hitting the rear assembly (even with padding) could cause it shift aft some - or a lot. Of course, if getting rear-ended, I could see how the opposite could happen, the upper part of the tail assembly getting shoved forwards, which could be interesting. Also, when seated, will your head stay below the top corner of the faring, or is there a possibility of it riding up and over? Sorry for the gloomy considerations, and it's all speculation, but worth thinking about.
