Fitted the horizontal beading below the front bulkhead windows today.  Thiscwas a reclaimed piece but I’m not convinced it is worthwhile given the difficulty of getting it to look decent when it  has been bent about.  I cut and marked for drilling the upper piece of horizontal beading last thing and started flatting the red oxide on the bulkhead using a P400 disc and air sander. It is giving a good finish ready for undercoat.

I cut and fitted a replacement panel for the rearward bulkhead above the entrance steps today as the original has too many dents in it.  However the new panel (from reclaimed material) is not as good as I thought and has some corrosion pitting so after a coat of self-etch I will have to fill and sand it.
