17_Floor_Complete_40percent.JPG
 Floor complete415 viewsThis is the floor completed, it was painted with POR-15 and then sealed with 3M seam sealer. As a last step, I pop riveted a thin piece of sheet metal (shown) where your feet rest. It didn't need to be very strong, I just needed to fill in the hole.Aug 23, 2008

 Right hand side complete401 viewsThis is the right hand side, completed. I painted with POR-15 and used a 3M seam sealer to seal up any gaps. This all gets covered with the fender.Aug 23, 2008
