Fitting Side Panels

[Guest bsilly]

hello...im just fitting me side panels....have made up both arches...me problem is that curve in the panel...to match it to arch it seems a bit odd....theres a gap at the bottom that yer could lose a small dog thro'.........does this seem normal..im not looking for absolute perfection ..but summat that looks ok...

Have a look at the northwest hoodies site there is a comprehensive guide to fitting side panels and rear wings.

either make the side panel curve fit the arch (which IMHO is too much of a curve) or alter the arch to fit the side panel.

Check out the article on our northwest site, that's why we did it!

I made the panel fit the arch, and I mounted the arches tight up to the curved chassis tube above them. Looks ok to me, but I did have a fair gap down the bottom to fill. I've now fitted plastic rear arch liners (modified from the donor), and I've panelled down the inside of the car sides. Gap is no more.
