wood?

think oak would have been better;)

WOW!

Its a one piece body kit.

Not so good if you need to replace a panel or get wood worm

yeh, bet he used a load of ronseal.

and filler

absolutely nothing wrong with that, its light and very rigid, its sealed under the fibreglass so will never rot or see the light of day again (unless he has a crash), second world war Mosquito (aircraft) was made largely of wood and could do 400 mph + and stands as one of the candidates for best aircraft of the war, do not underestimate the power of WOOD lol

Its normal practice to fibreglass wood in to support large panels like that.

In my opinion one of the finest aircraft ever made!

slight thread hi-jack but i had the priveledge to see the the last one flying a few months before it crashed killing the crew, twin merlins, what a noise absolutely awesome

right.

so go buy a cheap bodykit, and some wood.

i for one wouldnt want it

I remember someone on here bought one of those cheap TRD kits, you could see right through it !

I personally would use something other than wood for reinforcement, like a few more layers of fibreglass or a kevlar fabric, may be even use part of the original metal part to sure it up.

I agree with Homer and Paul. It's not at all unusual on a panel that size.

The guy fitting my trd kit just re-glassed the back of the wings.

i'd not like to use wood on my car, but i have seen it done before.
