Lots of progress today

The members for the rear roll hoop that we sent out came in today. The right side member was bent a bit too short so we raised that member up by half an inch. Our seatbelt members have been fishmouthed and are ready to be tacked.


Our foot well rear cross member has been fishmouthed.


The members for the front top plane have been tack welded together.


We have also learned of a new way to do our fishmouths. Basically, we can print out 1:1 scale drawings of the area around the fishmouths and tape them to the actual members to use as a guide.


This method works a lot better than repeatedly milling and fitting members until the fit works, and will be especially helpful on more complex fishmouths, such as those in the rear members.
