Benn /\ my reasoning. If you check back at the start of my WIP, you'll see that the engine was in front of the car with the slam intact, I didnt put the engine in that w.e. The following w.e I cut the slam as I was having problems with my crane.Quote:

Mine has a removeable slam panel, hard to tell though.
Never had any problems with strength on it either but I have overlapped two panels slightly.

You could drive a nova round without a slam panel center and it would be no different.
orite ok, sorry benn:thumb:Quote:

have got a new rear panel to replace whats on there atm, was thinking about doing it myself but who ever welded the sheet of metal over the rear did it so it would never come off....will get the new one fitted when i have it sprayed.
updates at the weekend hopefully.
thanks fo looking
I'd weld the seam around the turret too dude.
That should have been done when the chassis plating was done, will rep you when im on a computer for spotting that.Quote:
