Side lights were added from tube cut at an angle to enable them to curve around the panel, and then the front ends cut straight and again sanded to smooth them. I redefined the hinges as they had been lost in cutting the original panel out and added the mirror arms from brass wire, with scratch built mirrors from card, to the top hinges, a piece of tube acting as the mirror bracket. Finally any gaps or joints were filled with fine filler and the whole lot rubbed over with wet ‘n’ dry. I had to carefully shape the outer edges of the panel as they slope slightly, all the time checking with pictures to make sure I had the right look. I now had to mate the front panel to the cab having already removed the GUY panel with a razor saw; this was done with care as I wanted to save it for later. However I found I had not gone far enough, on a test fit the new panel protruded too far so a thinner slice of resin was again removed.
