End of Day 1

I have about 1/3 of the tub built. It's been interesting as the instructions are a few pictures and maybe 3 sentences a page. Most of it is trial and error. I've had to re-do a few steps to get to the next step. In that I have become proficient at separating MDF and wood glue.

Some of the panels have been cut for both left hand drive and right hand drive so it was a bit disorientating setting those up. I have done the inner front fenders, bulkhead and the tailgate so far. The front fenders and the spacers were difficult to figure out as I forgot to include a piece. On the non steering side there needs to be two spacers and the angled spacers are doubled up on the steering side. I had skipped the to longer spacers and used one of each angled spacer on each side. Fortunately I was able to correct this and have both fenders spaced properly.

Aligning the tailgate was difficult and the instructions are non-exisient but I think it is fitted correctly. Setting up the side exterior body panels will reveal the accuracy the tailgate alignment.
