The front panel had been made up from a double skin of plasticard about 3mm apart, basically an upside down ‘U’ shape having a gap where the grille would fit. I slightly bowed the card to match the gentle curve of the screen and filled around the edges with car filler as later on I would be sanding the panel here to achieve the shape required. Once set I could add card for the raised areas, the Seddon cab panel has two, one following the door line and another half way down that. I bevelled the edges of the card before gluing in place as this would be difficult to do neatly afterwards. Being double skinned this allowed me to drill out the headlight sockets and shape around these using a small reamer bit in the mini drill, a bit of sanding around these helped to smooth and curve the edges.
