Hey Brett;
How is the height under the steering wheel/column, I have a bench in Frank and with the VT column there is just enough room to side my leg under with it a full up tilt :crazy:

Yep all good Neil. Height of buckets is similar to standard bench height on Wilma.

As promised, the subtle changes to the firewall to fit the 7inch booster while keeping the hydraulic clutch. Hinges are going gas strut to fit the booster in.
Forgive the non-roundness of the booster centre hole. I have no excuse (or remorse) 😁

For those looking for a rust converter that you don't have to wash off and can paint over with 2k and acrylic, this Wurth product might be useful for you. It dries in about 3 hours and because it doesn't have to be washed off to neutralise, it is suitable for inside enclosed sections such as kframes, roof channels and pillars etc. Particularly useful for Project2. It's not cheap at $90 a litre, but that will do a lot of spots. I use it in a spray bottle and spray gun with long tube nozzle for box sections. POR15 sticks to it too. Metal goes dark blue and so does your skin if you get it on. Washes out in water.

Love the product endorsement Brett. Good to know when someone has had great success with a product. There was a K Frame painted with this too recently - Drew's build?

Thanks Mark. Always feels good getting some primer on. If I was a professional I would wait and do it all in one go, but I'm not😁

Good to seal it up. Bit too humid to paint here, with epoxy anyway.

Sure you've probably mentioned it, but what are you priming it with Brett?
