Busy Bee:
Unfortunately, I've been very busy with non car stuff recently, but I did manage a little bit today before it got dark...

Checked the panels that were bonded in at the weekend and they all feel pretty solid.

Then made some more templates for the next series of panels I need to fit.
( I had made the passenger floor one before, but it needed a trim to match the "pulled in" body shell sides. )



I thought a simple (and quick) job would be to use some Tiger Seal at the front end of the body shell.



These photos are not great, but there is a thin gap between the bulkhead and the body shell on the engine bay side.



As well as along the dash board side.



Unfortunately, the cheap and cheerful sealant gun I bought, turned out to be cheap and nasty.



Once the handle collapsed/imploded, it was just not possible to push the sealant out.

So I've ordered a "proper" heavy duty one and will have to come back to that job another day.

I just had time to cut out the next batch of panels from plywood and fibreglass.



But I want to test fit both of the cockpit floor panels before I paint/treat the edges.
( As they may need a fit of fine tuning to get a good fit. )

So that is another job that will have to wait.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
