Well the winter hibernation is over, back on the 300 SL. Was impossible to use 4 mm dowel for the chassis, had to go back to square section 5 x 5 mm pine.
Started on the body, all made out of jelutong, see by the photos its made up in sections,a lot of sawing , chiseling, sanding ( the Ryobi power sander had a good work out) finally got it into shape.
Penciled in the openings to be cut out, once they are removed I'll be able to see the thickness, and to sand the inside of the body down to about 6 mm thick. Then make the doors , bonnet and boot lid. John.
