I was getting ready to do the inside hull bracing on the sides and the fenders and i realized the damn hull is bowed like its back is broken. Probably was pulled out of the mold too soft and sat down and the rear armor hanging down didnt let the hull sit flat and it bowed. So... i think the fix is to remove the molded bolt strip for the sand shields and then trim the bottom of the hull flush all the way across. This kind of production error really pisses me off.
