Building a Special Body

[Ian Williams]

Thanks Chris, perhaps no as far beyond you capability as you may think, I am purely an amateur armed with a little knowledge and a willingness to try things. I have made loads of mistakes as I have learnt and been extremely lucky to have been shown tips and tricks by those more skilled than I am. I hope that by sharing some of those techniques through this thread it may inspire a few others to give things a go, none of it is that hard once you understand the basics

Update time, with the chassis finished and back together I have once again been able to push ahead with the body which has until now been held together with temporary fasteners. The main superstructure was incomplete, particularly the area behind the seat and this is where most of my recent efforts have been concentrated. 
I have busied myself with details like body mounting brackets
   
Making the battery box 
       
Forming a space for the fuel tank to sit, and locking the whole thing together with aircraft rivets
