Fitted the vertical beading beading between the large and small windows in the bulkhead.  All that remains now to complete the bulkhead work ready for paint is a small piece of horizontal beading adjacent to the driver’s window and the mud shield behind the front wheel.  When this is done the bulkhead can be painted and the side sheet welded and fitted.

Fitted the horizontal beading over the bulkhead window today.  Cut the remaining vertical from an existing piece and painted the back of it ready to fit tomorrow.

FIlled the rearward bulkhead lower panel with fine filler, sanded and re-primed ready for undercoating.

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.
