Final Prep - Factory Five Racing Mk4 Roadster Assembly Manual

Final Prep

Sand paper
All of the exterior body accessories, Windshield and side exhaust must be mounted to the car to
obtain the correct body location in order to create the correct gaps and opening sizes on the car
before it is painted.
Refer to appendix A for a drawing on how to make a wooden buck to hold the body. A body
buck diagram is in the appendix. The dimensions do not have to be exact. A rough shape is all
that is needed to hold the body.
One of the most important details in the bodywork is the finish on all the edges and openings. All of the
following edges are visible on the finished car and need to be evened out and have a small radius sanded
in for a good looking finish.
• Doors
• Hood
• Trunk
• Hood Scoop
• Wheels Wells
