I take back every good thing I said about fiberglassing........it's a pain in the neck......and back.......and legs.
From bending over the body as much as I have, every muscle is killing me and I am as stiff as a 100 year old. BUT, for all practical purposes, the interior is finally all done. The only thing left is to do the transmission and driveshaft tunnel, and a couple of seat risers, and I can set this body aside for a while until body work begins.
For the past week or so, every picture I have posted looks just like every other one, but I am making progress, honest.
Today I got the backrest and all of the side stringers done, and installed some small wood blocks at the base of the sides so that I can use short screws to fasten the upholstery board down.
Here are the pictures of where that all ended up. I decided to call it quits and let the resin cure overnight so that I can cut out the center of the floor tomorrow and start on the tunnel.
I will say one thing........this body is rock solid. And heavy.
In the picture with the black bed liner painted in, I had to do that section now because the backrest plywood is now permanently glassed in place and I will never be able to get back inside there to do it.
