Controversial Step: Coated the whole thing with Herculiner. (Helps seal it from moisture and deadens the road-noise.)

Patching the side-marker holes. (That bondo looks a little thick...hmmmm)

I thought the rear trunk seemed kinda weak, so I decided to make a quick brace to go across the back.
Here is a REAL EASY way to add some strength back there.

Measure out a length, and then just bang a 15-degree angle into it.

Get rid of any paint you have on the back of the trunk in the area your brace is going.

10 or so tacks on either side is more than enough.

You can pretty much sit on the rear trunk now and not bend the metal.

And here it is, with the guide-coat...ready to start blocking.

(I know, I missed the engine lid, and the back of the sail panels. I'll get em tomorrow.)
