body filler & pedals
Due to the good weather I rubbed down the front section of hull that I had applied spray putty to last weekend and re-applied another coat. Will let that dry during the week and rub it down next weekend and it might be about right. Hard work and lots of dust rubbing down that large panel, but wish to keep body filler to a minimum.
Also welded the old pedals onto the new tube section that I have created, made sure that I had the alignment between the clutch & brake pedals correct. I will also install a grease nipple fitting to the shaft/tube as late model BGC had that and it will improve the pedal function. Soon I will move on to the new lazer cut drivers floor plate and start to fit the pedals and drill all the holes.
Also fitted another 6V coil to the engine and checked that it was wired correctly and had spark- yes to both of those; however, ran out of time to attempt to start it.
Next weekend.
