I finally put down the coin to get a new rear body section (and get rid of 17#s). I am getting ready to do the wheel cut-outs and rear panel cut-out. In the GCR, it says that you can reinforce the fiberglass around the cut-outs. Are other people doing this??

I know I want to keep the weight down, but the fiberglass is so thin on the new body, it seems like it needs some extra support around the required cut-outs.

Thanks, DaveP

I just do the cut outs and let it go. Seems fine to me.
