Default removal of 401 skin

This is a really big job. Admittedly, It is the only way you can thoroughly reach all the superLeggera tubes which the skin is swaged over in 2 pieces (see the neat joins in the windscreen pillars) but once off it will require coachbuilding skills to reassemble without creasing or crumpling it, as the alloy is floppy without its frame. Try and find a stripped down one to study first is my suggestion.
