Woodwork and Aluminium

The body tub was cut out of three sheet of 8x4 marine ply by first

sticking the plans directly onto the board and cutting with a jig-saw.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was for the Husky - same principle.

When the panels are cut, they can be glued and screwed.

I have always done this job on the chassis after it is 'rolling' to give

a better idea of 'what goes where' so that any adjustments may be

made if necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cladding in aluminium makes a lot of difference,  but is risky when working

single-handed ( literally ) and using contact adhesive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half-round capping finishes the panel.

Here the doors are ' offered up '.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sides of the dummy tank were clad next prior to concealing the actual tank and getting

the 'edge' treatment.
