So, with all the bits unpacked and the garage newly tidied and decontaminated of MDF dust and sawdust I set about seeing if any of the funky new bits will actually fit the body tub I have built. The steering column fitted after a little fettling with the dremel and some sandpaper. Steering wheel screwed straight on to the column so at least it looks a little more vehicle-like now. The bonnet sits nicely on the wing tops and so I've been able to cut the curve in the top of the radiator panel and now I'll need to remake the apron that goes between the inner wings and also rout out the the holes in the radiator panel. The curved wing tops didn't fit - no surprise there - so I had to cut them down using (of all things) a Stanley knife. I will be glueing these in later and then filling the gaps with P38.
Wheels look cool too.
