Red Bull Racing RB7: Step by Step
10
The next step is to cut away the two spaces that will sit at either side of the engine.
The left-hand space is shown in the photo above by the dotted red line. To create
this hole, follow the same procedure as you did to make the holes in the front of the air
induction pod in Steps 06-08, again finishing by sanding or filing down to reach the final
size and to remove any rough inner edges and create a smooth finish.

The final stage of trimming down your RB7's running body is to cut it along its base
line, shown here by the dotted red line. Use the shears to do this, again not going
right up to the line, and then sand or file the edge to match the desired contour exactly
and create a neat, smooth finish. Be extremely careful not to cut, sand or file above the
dotted red line, and make sure to cut the small upward notch shown in the inset photo.
Repeat this step for the right-hand side of the running body.
