Just managed to make a bit more progress on my HotRod Strat build project, in order for me to be able to install the bridge, I had to cut-away some of the plastic from between the hole in the scratchplate where the bridge humbucker goes, and where the body routing for the bridge is, I carefully marked it out and used a coping-saw to cut-away the plastic, then used a file to smooth-out any rough edges, next I marked where I needed to drill two new holes for the scratchplate mounting screws, drilled them out to size, placed the scratchplate on the body, using two screws to hold it in place, then I drilled two appropriately-sized holes in the body to the correct depth, that pretty much finishes that bit of work, the only thing I need to do now is finish-off spray-painting and clear-coating the body, and then the guitar will be ready for assembly, I'm going to see if I can buy a set of new Chrome tuners for the guitar tomorrow.
