So now ready to crack on with panelling in earnest.

Next on the sill outer sides. I suspect I’m rare in bothering to panel this area but there are good reasons, first one is that with bonding and (lots of) rivets the panels become structural and the sills form a large portion of the stiffness in the chassis. The second one is because in the GT40 the fuel tanks sit in the sills. The panels both increase the separation but also will be (fire proof) foam filled to give additional time should the worst happen.

Anyway, before.

Then with that in place it was onto the panelling at the front, lots of sections have prerequisite panels and a defined order to assemble. The front is probably the worst for this. I don’t appear to have a recent photo here so I’ll have to go right back to the start of the project (my god look how empty and clean the garage was!)
