then a bit of fiddling with my bulkhead box revealed that id measured it up wrong :)  ;)
essentially i made it 2 inches too tall because of where i measured it as i bent it, but nothing major i cut 2 inches out and welded it back together. pictures of that tomorrow.

things to do:
front O/S flitch
N/S floor and sills
few various patches
recess the boot floor for fuel tank
modify bootlid and surround for a funky new fuel cap design (thanks for the idea matt)
exhaust tunnels
fibreglass roof
fibreglass front end
hinge kit for front end (reverse style)
mount the cage

and on a less sunny note, ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND GOOGLES!!!!!
