Update | frame and tank welding

The last 2 weekends I have been at WiMoto, the workshop of Wido Veldman. He is an awesome skilled welder who has been helping me with the subframe of my cafe racer. The steel tank has been made of sheet metal, clean TIG-wedling!
The body and tank will be mounted on the frame with slim tank mounting rubbers; to eliminate all possible vibration problems!

Update | fitting tank cap and rear light

The body has been trimmed; the rough glass fiber edges have been trimmed off. Even so the cuts have been made to fit in the fuel cap and the rear light. Using a lot of paper templates made in Solidworks; digital CAD modelling.
The body and the frame will be joined soon! Some brackets and flanges will be welded on the frame to bolt the body on the frame.
