Tried to finish removing the head studs and this is what the head stud extractor that "doesn't damage the thread so they can be reused" did to them lol Welded a nut to the end of them to get them out :roll:

Iain, did you grind a V into the join in the pedal, I would have done and filled that with weld.
-
I did not, there was a slight gap a bit like a V join would have been on one side though?
I've only just got over the worry of the pedal, good job lol I'll be plating it on one side tomorrow now!

Today's update, been doing bodywork which for a novice is very time consuming! Getting there though.
Arches almost done! Subtle flare on the front:

And rear one is taking shape, I find the biggest problem is getting where it starts to flick out look right as the light catches it slightly differently and highlights it:

Tinkering with my Aerocatches, they're currently like this:

I'd quite like to fit them like this, but the shape of the slam panel doesn't really allow for it. So I guess they'll stay as above!
