been over to a local suppliers today , chase auto paints, they couldnt be more helpfull, picked up etch primer, buff base coat, and the top yellow coat, and a couple of spray guns etc , only prob is the cellulose and synthetic are reacting with the redoxide, so will just be using me etch primer on the steel too expensive option i kno , but ony thing the synth base coats seem to take to well. got a few coats of high build on it now, so should stop the blistering reaction. least i can rub out the imperfections as i build it up,
learn somethin new every day

pics on the way , been busy recently, but not forgotten
anyone kno the bolt hole centers for the width of the bulkhead, ( the bulkhead outrigger holes?) so i can get the new legs and feet on , too much play in the new footwells to give a definite measurement,
might wait till new chassis arives to get exact measurements of holes, then build bulkhead to suite

Regarding the bulkhead feet holes, I reckon you're better off doing it once you've got the chassis - I was advised to repair my bulkhead feet and footwells on the chassis so that I know it'll all line up again later. I tack-welded the feet and footwells in place (it was a windy day so my MIG was struggling!) and then took the whole lot into the garage to weld up properly.
Even if I went outside and measured the centres on mine - you can be pretty certain it won't be the same as yours!
