Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

feathering the edges on the 2nd seat

Image

we used pieces of wood to hold the widened seat together then ran some easily formed plastic around the curved rear to glass onto (thats what you can see in the gap)

Image

as you can see, despite all the measuring and checking that went on, there was still a bit of work to get the two roof halves to meet smoothly

Image

but before tackling that the front pillars had to be tidied up

Image

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

at this point the two roof halves didn't seem to like being too close to each other

Image

sorry if these pics don't seem in order but i'm posting them in the order they were taken, it's easier that way as i don't miss any emoticon

here's the 2nd seat drying next to the heater

Image

the 'widening slits' welded back up

Image

meanwhile Rich began cleaning up the front discs

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

some close inspection of the work needed to join the 2 roof halves

Image

and a check from afar to see the shape of the roof

Image

how about that for a before and after pic emoticon well done rich

Image

both the drums and the discs will be drilled to chevy stud pattern to accept our shiny centrelines (see page god knows what near the beginning!)

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

central spot weld to hold the roof steady

Image

Image

and although one half of the roof fitted perfectly, the off side needed a bit of work. here, Alex is cutting slits into the roof

Image

Image

sometimes it has to look worse before it can look better! emoticon

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

defuzzing the bucket seats, there was loads of the old foam still attached in places, an attack form 3 wire brush weilding Team Jagerbug members soon sorted that!

Image

more spot welds on the roof

Image

whilst Paul supported it from beneath

Image

yet more layers of fibre glass! (these seats will hopefully be indestructable!)

Image

now that's what I call concentration! :lol:
