I wish they had put them there originally.

Great work! You have nice momentum and that is what keeps a project moving.

[dakazman]

My momentum is because of the help and information I get from all the talented people here.
All glass work except interior dash and firewall done. My firewall will be removable from interior so that fuel cells can be accessed easier. Lol maybe even smuggler’s compartments .

The longer ,cleaner , lines from front view are undisputable😀, however I believe it is weaker, so no sitting please.

I just primed my baby I couldn’t stand the engine compartment and spare tire are so I prepared that for paint also 80 hours later this is what it looks like.

Missed one😀

[Bodzer]

Oooh, that looks nice! Well done! Can you come over and prep mine?

[BDA]

She's looking great! Do I remember correctly that you'll be running a Renault motor? What size tires will you be running?

[dakazman]

I saw a thread on tire size and they are on my list to buy.
I have panasport 13x8 for rear and 13x7 rims for front.
Hopefully soon I’ll get to rolling frame around . Waiting for rear bearings from
Kelvedon lotus which is next on my buy list.

Very nice! Don't forget to reinforce the upper corners of the windscreen area.

[Certified Lotus]

I am in admiration of people who do their own body work.

[dakazman]

 Thanks Bda and certified. I read about those reinforcements and thought it sounded like a good idea.
I will respray primer and add contrast agent to paint before sanding again.

    Then getting back to glassing dash support back in and building firewall.
Thanks certified for the pictures.

Dry guide coat applied . Blocking shows some low spots but overall
Coming along nicely. The guide coat is great stuff and takes the
Guess work out and poor eye sight . Lol.  Just good and bad.
Looks like 1 or two more coats of primer.
The weather finally in mid 70s and dry ,perfect for painting.

Dash support back in , rear and rearluggage bin prepped .
Washed again and ready for more primer tomorrow

I need some ideas for firewalls preferably removable.
Material and location? Also is my favorite glass mixing tray
Lol it cleans up easy after drying just bend and it’s clean.
