Fitting scuttle - trimming

Father Christmas was very nice this year and gave me a Dremel which definitely is the tool of the day when you are trimming the bodywork:


Like the manual says you have to cut quite a lot away to make the scuttle fit around the bottom of the dashboard hoop:




The main body hangs over the inside of the chassis. The scuttle determines the width but I tried to move the whole thing from side to side to get as central as possible:




The result was the dashboard hood at it top point was right up against the inside of the scuttle on the RHS:


and quite a bit has to be cut away for the steering column:
