Bodywork
So, we have just spent a day doing (most of) the bodywork. Dear Lord, but there’s some chopping to do. My friend Nase summed it up quite well: “The rear tail section is the only bit that actually fits without needing modification. And we need to cut it up anyway because of the winch.”
Some of the mess chopping up fiberglass makes
We were expecting to have to do some modifying because of the number of different ways a Tomcat can be set up, but we ended up hacking huge chunks out of pretty much everything. Nothing is too complicated, but time-consuming.

The side walls, in particular, went on and came off again around fifty times. Still, it’s done now. We’ve lightly rivited the panels on, in case we have to take them off to get wiring in later. We’ll bang some more rivets in closer to the end of the build.

Still, it is starting to look the part!
