Body Work

[Brent Howard]

Hey Everyone

I'm not on our bodywork team, but I have to deal with it all the time and was wondering what the best ways to attach it are so that it can be take off easily are. Right now ours is a major pain because the A-Arms have to be removed in order to get at it, and this is all through a small little hole. The only way that I know of to make it really easy to remove is to have vertical groves around the A-arms so that when you want it off you remove a few fasteners and lift straight up, but this can look really bad, especially if you need lots of grooves. Any ideas?

Have a permanently attached panel down both sides of the car and particularly within the rectangle made by the 4 pickup points on each side. Then have the your nose or bodywork go over the top of the upper pick-ups. No cut outs this way, all very neat.
