Jezz it's been 20 months since I last posted. Priorities changed over that time and my shop has grown ALOT of cobwebs in the mean time. I haven't looked at FABO in a year +. But... things are getting back into a kind of routine and I'm beginning to carve a bit of "me time" out of the week again. I've sporadically worked on some small projects and bought a few things like a couple cases of sound deadening mat but not much else. Haven't installed the mat yet as I want to get the windshield out, replace the dash and rebuild the heater box prior so I don't tear it up doing all that work. Recently I bought some sheet metal and fabbed up panels to skin the outside of the fuel cell cage. These along with the trunk floor panels were primed, painted and then the exterior side undercoated. Next step will be to seam seal and rivet the whole mess into place hopefully making the trunk air tight so I won't get affixiated by exhaust gasses. I made the cage floor removeable so I can lift/lower the fuel cell into place. Yes it is that tight of a fit plus it gives me access to work inside the trunk withought having to physically climb inside. I need to find some kind of thin material to use as a seal or I'll be sucking fumes for sure. I've also been fitting my new 70-72 rear bumper in place. Pics/commentary to follow.
