The hood and doors

Getting the hood on is a stretch, literally. I am going to leave it in place like this for a few days in the hope that the vinyl will relax a bit.
The front-most poppers seem to take the most strain. I've assisted them with some gentle hand-cramps

The next job is to fit the remaining two fasteners on each side of the hood. This is pretty easy, and the positions are already marked faintly on the hood itself.


The doors are easy enough, but do take some care. When they say the metal frame inside the doors is hard, they mean it. I broke two drill bits getting through it.

But the doors fit beautifully once they're in place, and all the flaps seal each other up nicely.
