I'm confused...

another suggestion is to purchase the Bulldog Proline body - that comes with undertray for B44.2
You don't want to put the film on the under chassis first. You don't want the film on until you have every screw that goes up through the bottom of the chassis 100% done and needing no further tweaking. The chassis is then able to lie over the entire bottom of the chassis and counter sunk screws, making it completely flat with an even surface.

If you were to cut holes and/or go through the chassis film with screws, it'll get all mangled up once you start hitting the track from the friction on the bottom of the chassis (from time to time).

It's one of the last steps in the manual for a reason, IMHO.

I like the Bulldog bodies too, but that plastic under tray can make a lot of noise out on the track. Most do not use it (or for long).
