So at last .... major metal work finished and onto first stages of paint
* Acid etch
* Prime
* Seam seal
* Thin stone chip
* Thin coat of top coat inside the inner chamber and on the belly pans.
Will be rust inhibited in here.....
Note the "racing lightened" rear cross member for the oil cooler!
G
Headlining rod grippers
Decisions on Heater log based on these photos.. no idea where front of rear seat will be yet!

So Centre belly pan is to be removable to access the oil cooler should need arise.
Outer belly pans are to be welded on. Inside will be an enclosed box.This has been coated with a thin coat of gravitex stone chip n black.
