Had a good and bad day today.
Managed to get the body on and cut the N/S suspension holes and exhaust outlet. Managed to cut one hole slightly off center and had to elongate it.

Now, do I cut the O/S to match the messed up N/S hole or do I cut it in the right place? Your thoughts would be appriciated.

(Sorry couldn't get the pics to view n the post).

i think the elongated hole looks quite reasonable. dare i say it....nice!

you can't look at both sides of a car at once though, and your holes are a damn sight neater than many i've seen.

your call, but since it doesn't look bad, i'd say make them match.

i agree with tom, they look good! cut the other side to match otherwise ull no they different! and i dont know about you but thts the sort of thing tht would annoy me

I wish my cockups looked that good

Cheers

In the last pic - is the mark above the front lower wishbone pivot a pen mark or a partially drilled hole?? Other than that it looks fine but you could always use some circular trim rings if you are bothered about the odd shapes

I agree, elongated hole looks good! I would call it a "feature"..

Why make them round any how.. Mine are rounded rectangles.. No one will notice!
