Part of the main box has to be built separate...basically an additional plate added to the rear.
This is the result of the additional strengthened framework.
(The frame for the rear doors and other mounting points for various parts.)

This is that extra Former part that is to be laminated to 1.5mm...
and then wrapped with a "skin".
Once the Limber Pole hole is cut, it is glued flat to the rear of the Limber box.



...
In the next photo, you can see I started to wrap the exposed ends of the "axle" dowel
to hide the wooden dowel and create the "Hubs".



Three layers of wrapping creates a stepped section on the axle dowel
(this is the first part of the axle Hub)



...
Next "hub" part, is the connection to the Drums that support the Road Wheels.

Small parts...fiddly bits...much hair pulling...satisfaction.

The back of the Wheel Rims will slip onto the wooden axle, and butt up against the Hubs.



...
Upper Fender brackets assembled and installed.
There are three mounting points for each fender...this is the main upper mount from which the fender hangs.

And another view of the side panel layering and raised panels.
See how my raised sections are too thick? One layer would have looked better. Oh well.
