With the
area under the dashboard completed, we will now install the
trunk firewall.
This was
indexed before we cut it out. We did some repair work before
we re-installed it.
The inside
of the trunk has all been repaired. It has been re-skinned
with one thin layer of mat.
You can see the detail in the cockpit in the photo on the
right.
This is
the battery opening with the battery cover in place.
Remember, this will all be textured and painted gray.
Jack is
finishing up the firewall structure, which had to be opened
for the roll bar.
Because
the new roll bar is bigger than the original (safety first),
the inside structure has to be re-shaped for the new size.
The picture shows the new bar roughed up so the new fiberglass
panel will stick to it (makes the bond stronger).
The front
trunk has been sand blasted and will be re-skinned to match
the firewall bulkhead.
The firewall is now finished and ready for primer.
Jack has
done a magnificent job installing the dashboard. Next, we
will be starting the outside bodywork.
