I've pulled the front body section off so I can begin finishing up a few things underneath. I made a template out of poster paper and now I am using that to make an aluminum panel that fits on the front bulkhead, under the steering rack, master cylinders, and reservoirs. Between a plasma cutter, nibbler, die grinder, drill press, and a file, it's easy (hah!).
I'm going to wait until I have most of the aluminum panels made before I break out the spray gun with epoxy zinc chromate primer.
I got a thumbs-down on my first idea of how to add some rear funder clearance to the wheel arch so it's off to Plan B.
