Hey Guys,

Starting to plan out the moulds for the shell, how have you gone about making
the roof, a/b/c pillars. where do they overlap with the front and rear quarters ect.
Pics would be great.

One more question, what do you prefer, dzus clips, suitcase type buckels or little allen key screws to
hold the body together?


Thanks

dzus clips constantly need fixing and if you get a touch its not hard for the panel to flex and they come undone.
allen keys are a pain coz the hole is so small that if you get a little bend in your frame work the holes dont line up properly and theres not much room to play with.
i think the clips jamo uses are the best but they need to be done well. as in your moulds have pockets built into them to have the clips. they seem to hold the panels very tight and if there a little mis alignment they pull them into place.

they are most likely the most expensive tho....
