Looks like it could be cut out?

if you cut it out entirely, you lose a fair bit of the structural rigidity that helps with panel shape etc, the cage will more than make up the strength in the chassis but the outer body would be a bit flimsy, especially around the door shut, plus, holes look cool as...

I can tell you a story about a hole saw and a flesh wound. In fact Ste W or Mike B might as they were both there when I nearly lost the ability to point.

righty, so not at pv, but did find time to look at the 'burg today amongst nova and manta engine works...
it needed some attention to get the front wing/bumper fitting right etc, some pretty extreme moves needed but hey ho…

panel gaps are much nicer, even got some of the bonnet dent out too…



needs a tweak to the bumper mount, painting in the right colour, then its back to how it was
